Night Running 101: Never Turn Your Back

One of the biggest mistakes made by after-hours runners is when they travel in the same direction as traffic. You always want to run against traffic so you can see a potential accident coming. You’ll have a much better chance of performing an evasive maneuver (running out of the way) this way.

A few weeks ago, a runner in Connecticut was killed when a 16 year girl struck him as he ran along a fairly busy road. He was run with traffic.

Nuff said!
