I run at night on the weekdays and because of the softer stride I've developed I'm noticing that I startle people when I pass them because they don't hear me coming. Anyone else here have that problem? Last night I squeezed past these high schoolers on a narrow path and they were like "oh my gosh, that scared me."
I simply try to make my presence known as I am approaching them especially at night.
I have coughed or just say "on your left". Even then I will startle someone. Heck I have been hiking on trails and gotten lost in my thoughts and had someone do that to me.
Even then a person walking or running might have headphones on and not hear me.
