The thought process they are concerned with is the fact that sidewalks are notoriously uneven and they have probably taken a few spills on them. In addition, they are usually full of people that are slow to move while the runner is trying to maintain a constant pace. Hence the reason a jogger person down here was hit and killed by a car as she was doing exactly what you are describing. It is not a good idea, especially with all the paths and parks around these days. Doctors are in agreement jogging is no longer as good an exercise as originally thought since the impact on the knees and ankles makes for serious damage in time. Good question!! |

they are stupid for running in street but i think so they can keep a steady pace meaning of that don't have to keep going off and getting up on curbs |

Presumably to avoid inconsistencies in the sidewalk pavement or to avoid other human beings going at a sower pace on the sidewalk. In traffic or wearing headphones, I agree that it's not work the risk. |

GOOD QUESTION.......mainly runners who run frequently find the road easier to run. Why do mothers walk with their children in the stroller ON THE ROAD? Why do people walk their dogs on the road when their is a sidwalk? Why do people ride bikes on the road when there is sidewalk.........because they are thoughtless, ignorant, and stupid!!! |

they're just there so you have to switch lanes, or sometimes wait for cars coming in the opposite direction to pass so you can pass them. they wear the mp3s so they can ignore you when you honk your horn. |

I'm one of those people. I run on the street instead of the sidewalk because my knees bother me, and when you run on the sidewalk you have to cross all those driveways with the sidewalk sloping all different directions, and I don't feel like that's good for my knees to have my feet tilting all different directions all the time. My mom also runs on the street for her knees' sake, but her reason is she thinks asphalt is softer than cement (??!!!). I don't get it. Anyway, we both stay out of the way of cars though. |

Sidewalks may have too much people on them, or the road is smoother and you can see more things that come your way |

The reason is this, running on asphalt rather than concrete is easier on the joints... I am a runner and i don't run with an mp3 only because its not safe.... don't get why people run with them on and i to see this and get very frustrated.... would never run with the traffic too dangerous and very stressful...Defeats the purpose as to why i would run........this is my thought process, and its obvious others just don't think..... |
