The 2km radius is to stop people congregating in hotpots like Howth and Glendalough, not to stop people who want to avoid human interaction when exercising within their locality, the precise thing you are whingeing about.

I expect people to have manners and manners in general from pedestrians can be very poor when they are in groups/with children/with dogs and even sometimes on their own they'll blindly walk in the middle of a path not leaving anyone else space to pass be they walking or running. A topic which comes up on this forum often.

adrian522 wrote: » Nobody takes precedence over anyone else, common courtesy called for all round. Nobody owns the footpath. I'll normally move out where I can, I also really appreciate when groups go to single file or make accommodations and to be honest I haven't seen any of the issues people on here have been talking about.

There's a lot of "will I move on to the road or will they" in my area. There's also the few gob****es who are oblivious to the world, and will pass a foot from you. With runners and joggers there's less time and just a small bit more stressful. I suggest that joggers could help public perceptions by making very clear moves early on to indicate that they are going to move out of the way.

The Bishop Basher wrote: » Why ? Because you don't like hearing an alternative view ? Running is fine if it's practiced within the guidelines. The problem at the moment is it's near impossible to run on the path while maintaining the correct distance as the footpaths are rammed with families out walking. Some people have found alternative routes, others have stopped running all together but the remainder are continuing as normal and running close to people on the footpaths which is both ignorant and dangerous just now. Which bit if this do you take issue with ? Are you suggesting that runners be given an exception to the distance rule ?
skyblue46 wrote: » The only issues on this forum are being brought in by a gang of gob****es trying to get running banned or some such nonsense. The runners on this forum are quite happily continuing their training outdoors, staying within 2km (give or take 400m :pac:), respecting social distancing and keeping healthy. Maybe, just maybe, all you naysayers could just make your way back to whatever forum you usually frequent. Simples.
