    "I think it's just fashionable to accuse people of it whenever they are going faster than you are :)"

    As someone who does chase Strava segments, it does annoy me when people blame rudeness on Strava. I don't chase every segment going, indeed most of the (bike) ones I have my eye on are uphill, and all of them are on roads.

    I feel there's a kind of suggestion that wanting to challenge yourself and get faster and fitter is unacceptable behaviour. I'm not saying that "I'm training" is an excuse for inconsiderate or dangerous behaviour; but if I didn't smile and wave at you because I was trying to go up the hill as fast as I could, is that so terrible?

    @fimm, there is a mildly interesting one page letter in this month's Psychologist about the dark side of running. Mostly about how athletes struggle to cope when injured and cannot exercise. It is not as interesting as a poem someone sent in

    The rain it Raineth every day
    Upon the just and unjust feller
    But more upon the just because
    The unjust has the just's umbrella

    It's more than ten years ago but I am still crushed by the shame of remembering that I once refused a young lady's plea for help when race training against the clock. I cannot imagine what I was thinking and have since attempted to make penance on numerous occasions. I think and hope that is the intended function of shame.
