My late father-in-law was one of those runophobes. Whenever he drove past a runner, he would grumble “there goes another jogger running himself into an early grave”.

You know the type: people who tell insufferable yarns about their race experiences, describe their injuries in excruciating detail and showboat about how many miles or marathons they have run. Fortunately, the majority of runners are simply passionate about running, but countless others are bewildered, wary or averse altogether.
