I think perhaps more work on desenitising Bailey to runners? So observing them from distance, treats when they've been clocked and she's calm, some look at me/treats if runners get closer (keep her engaged with you), some higher value treats if a runner passes/no reaction.
Basically find a bench and feed her snacks around stuff when she's chilled.
I'm not sure it's a food thing/recall thing. It feels like/looks like "wtf is this person doing running up to me they are a bit scary. So i'll run up and bark, then chase after them"
It sometimes happens with other dogs. I'll be doing sit stays, fetching in a quiet part, then another dog will enter their peripheral vision, stiffen up, and then run over.
At which point the food is irrelevant.
