The female geese are on the nest with eggs, the male bird guards the immediate area with vicious hissing noises and an aggressive no nonsense stance.
It's an annual thing each nesting spring.some male birds just hiss,other demonic birds actually chase.....it's the Carrion Crows brown rats red fox and grass snake they should really be wary of,but of course poor humans are easy targets!
The answer to this is always to go to a specialist running shop and try out loads of pairs with the help of the staff. Shoes that are fantastic for me could be awful for you, or vice-versa.
A few years ago (when I started running again seriously) I did exactly that and they put me on a treadmill in the shop and videoed it to analyse how I ran. from that they were able to recommend a particular type of trainer which I've been using ever since with no knee or foot problems at all. Now on my 5th pair as I replace them after about 500 miles.
If I’m up I may pop down and do it with you @Worsleyweb
Nice work. I noticed you mention this "arch nemesis" of yours pretty much every run, can you give us some more info? Do you both have costumes? Is there real hatred involved? Does he/she/it/they/them/those know about the rivalry?
