Agreed, I'd never thought about the fact it doesn't feel nice to have someone follow you at night in built up areas and will change how I approach people now. I've done a lot of night running in the middle of nowhere so risks are extremely low and even so I rarely wear headphones so can now empathize with who others might feel given the difference in vulnerability.

I don’t agree with that. Someone shared something similar with my work running group last year and it totally made me change certain aspects of how I run at night. I now cross the road rather than run past someone on the pavement - never event thought of it before.
I think the onus is on us to not only educate ourselves but those around us.
