As the intense heat has receded a bit these days, it really is great weather for running.
Recently, "slow running"—where people run slowly without obsessing over records or speed—has been gaining particular popularity.
However, concerns are also rising that the controversy over running crews "blocking paths" might repeat itself.
Slow running focuses on running steadily, even if it is at a slow pace.
It maintains a slow speed that allows runners to converse with the person next to them.
It is a great method for beginners who feel burdened by competitive pressure or are worried about injuries.
Therefore, on social media lately, it is easy to find posts recruiting people to run together under names like "slow running" or "slrun."
The problem, however, is that when groups run slowly and occupy walkways or park tracks for extended periods, the possibility of obstructing other pedestrians' passage also increases.
Since it becomes a happier workout only when you take care of your own health without causing inconvenience to others, it would be good to think together about etiquette as well.
