THE BIG QUESTIONS

Q. What do I do if I come across a runner who is injured but had earlier passed me with what I felt was scornful ease?

A. Depends on the severity of the injury. If they are on the ground, help them to their feet, using the close proximity to whisper, ‘Not so fast now, are you?’ But whatever their condition, at least express concern; it is crucial you show that you are nicer than they are.
