In relation to 'elites' though I find that the true elite athletes nearly always give a nod, and even in the case of Rob Heffernan an encouraging few words as he passed me on one of his training runs. Sonia O'Sullivan is another who has given me a nod, which is a bit like a Masserati flashing the headlights in recognition of a Robin Reliant! Lots of others including Cork City marathon winners. Nothing to prove, I suppose.

If that changes I probably will join one, but I don't feel I owe any club my money. I pay to enter their races and am entitled to my place in the field as much as any club runner. Anyway, I hate runners who pass by in the opposite direction and blatantly ignore you when you've gone out of your way to greet them with a nod, wave or hello. They've definitely noticed, but refuse to acknowledge it and deliberately blank you." Funny, I remember having this discussion before, and getting savaged for posting that saying hello to other runners "was more of a club thing".

I don’t take it personally, and although it seems to me it would have been so much easier for the poor fecker to just smile and say hello, you never know what’s going on with people. I waved anyway as a fellow runner.

The instructor brought them to a halt and then decided to stand and stretch and chat amongst each other as I approached. I coughed loudly, nothing. I shouted "excuse me" but at that stage I had also slow to walking pace as negotiate around them, no apology, nothing. Fairplay to them for getting out and getting fit but it was very annoying.

Always happens around Eastpoint. They get off a bus or something and are so stuck in their phones they don't watch where they are going and you then have to avoid them yet there is no room on the footpath. Also people crossing the Eastlink. It is frightening crossing it on a windy day and people jumping on and off the path with very busy traffic and again people not looking where they are going. All my troubles seem East based. I'm sure I am not the first to rant about this but the head stuck in the phone while walking somewhere or they are chatting with it in front of them is a real issue for me of late.
