It's too dangerous to run in the UK

open your gd eyes

Where are you running, you need to open your eyes and don’t do track workouts on trail I would imagine

You wouldn't understand if you are an American with smooth asphalt. The roads here are crumbling away.

I strictly run trails and it sounds comparable.

That's sad. Your "leaders" priorities are whacked. Spending too much money on all your new residents, mostly Losers, is the problem. Big problems now. Failing roads, crime up, healthcare system overloaded, and a housing shortage. It's probably too late to rise up, you're Cooked. Thank the good Lord for that ocean or they would be here.

How can you comment so confidently about a place you've never been and probably could never afford to go even if you wanted?

Stick to 'GF or roster only' please, at least that gives us a laugh.

UK runners are daredevils! Flirting with danger at every turn! Heck, I heard some UK runners even braved the trek from Kent to Surry to compete in a cross country race and I've never heard of anything more wild!

Voted for austerity, got austerity. Shocker.

Got stabbed by a Muslim running there last year. Never again will I go to the UK.

Yes it is terrible, Brexit has FAILED. It was suppose to make things better but it only made it worse.

here in China, they are building roads for no reason. and now i have long, uninterrupted highway type of roads of my own. there is no traffic, grandmas and grandpas from nearby villages would also come walking on those roads after dinner.

No you didn't.

According to Fox News I got stabbed and murdered 6 times on my latest Long Run. According to me I had a great uneventful run around North London.

There are potholes everywhere though

I have to agree with the OP but for slightly different reasons.

I used to live in England and there was no footbridge or underpass over the very dangerous dual carriageway splitting the semi rural community in half. People were regularly killed, well perhaps one very few years, trying to cross it on foot.

There used to be a footpath along the busy B road at the end of my driveway. It became overgrown and damaged a while ago, and the local authority refused point blank to cut back the vegetation more than once a year. It was therefore unuseable and you just had to drive everywhere because it was too dangerous to walk.

This is actually quite typical of the poor infrastructure in the UK. Yet at the same time the UK's working people are paying higher taxes than ever. The council tax/property tax is ridiculous compared to the European country where I now live - I pay ONE SEVENTH of what I paid in the UK, and the place is immaculate. Lots of on and off road runs.

I have to say that the only country I've been to which is worse than the UK for infrastructure is the United States. I couldn't believe how awful it was.

I now live in France, where everything is perfect. Apart from the American healthcare refugees who come here because they cannot afford US healthcare. Their pensions are large enough to meet the visa requirements but not to pay social charges, and they're so poor they always rent apartments in cities, and bring their obesity-related illnesses with them so they can drain the resources that French people have worked hard to afford. Its such a big problem that the French are having to bring in a special tax because of it.
