If someone stops you while running, what do you do?

Answered by a doctor

Is it possible to advance this quickly?

Ok...I'm baffled about my recent gains/improvements in my training recently. I was comparing 2 long runs that I did recently on the same (or closely similar) route, one way back in May, the other just last weekend. The route is about 15 miles on mostly flat terrain.
