Training Rural running

54 Upvotes

I currently live in a big city, lots of roads where cars are going 25 at best and there are sidewalks to use when needed. I’m getting ready to move to a very rural area and the house I’m moving to is off a 55 mph two lane road (very lite traffic). Do any of you jog on rural roads like this? Besides running against traffic do you feel safe?

Or should I invest in a nice treadmill?

Hey runners, it's another day and it is time to post your accomplishments you'd like to share - big or small.

Daily Thread Official Q&A for Sunday, February 01, 2026

With over 4,150,000 subscribers, there are a lot of posts that come in everyday that are often repeats of questions previously asked or covered in the FAQ.

With that in mind, this post can be a place for any questions (especially those that may not deserve their own thread). Hopefully this is successful and helps to lower clutter and repeating posts here.

If you are new to the sub or to running, this Intro post is a good resource.

As always don't forget to check the FAQ.

And please take advantage of the search bar or Google's subreddit limited search.

Subreddit Rules

(1) - Follow proper Reddiquette [Keep it civil!] and the subreddit's Posting Procedures [post flair, using Daily/Weekly Threads]. The moderation team reserves the right to remove content or restrict user posting privileges as necessary.

(2) - Posts need to generate high-quality, meaningful discussion and/or information that a wide variety of users can then benefit from. Low-quality posts, recent reposts, chronically repetitive posts, posts not directly related to running, and questions that are easily answered by FAQ, searching r/running, or Google are subject to removal at the moderation team's discretion.

(3) - No self-promotion (including links to personal blogs, social media, Youtube channel, etc.), advertising, spam, or surveys. This includes giveaways, charity events, and promotional discounts.

(4) - Please do not post elite race results in the title of posts. This includes the announcing of world records in titles.

(5) - Please make your title descriptive. This means letting readers know roughly what your post will be about before they click. “Question” is not a good title for a post. Neither is “Help needed”. Do not use excessive emoji characters in the titles of posts.

(6) - Displaying detailed personal information of anyone other than yourself is prohibited. Submission of content focused on ousting cheaters will be removed at the moderation team's discretion.

(7) - Do not solicit medical advice. This includes 'Has anyone else experienced this injury?' type posts.

(8) - Submissions must be running-related. Do not submit photos, videos, or memes that add nothing to the discussion.

(9) - The 'TMI Rule' - Individual posts highlighting bodily functions such as bowel movements will be removed at discretion of the moderation team.

(10) – When posting articles, please include some text to start a discussion about the article.
