This came up on a group run today:
What do you do on a 12 mile run when someone's shoe comes untied at mile 4?
The group is a mix of 10-15 guys that regularly meet for long runs. Not everyone knows everyone else, but we are all part of a network of local runners.
You wait, then beat the person who doesn't know how to tie their shoes with soap in pillowcases while they sleep.
Just stop and jog around them.
don't be a total piece of shit.
unless its the middle of a set of intervals, wait for them to tie their shoe, maybe explain to them why 2 or 3 knots is better than one
Bend over and tie it for them.
geez, what's wrong with people today
Its really dangerous to run with an untied shoe.
Get the group to put in a nice surge, so your friend has to run very quickly to catch up. If he calls you on it, just pretend you have no idea what he is talking about.
