As I exited the portaloo at the start of a local half marathon, I heard something that made my stomach turn. It wasn’t emanating from within the facilities themselves, suprisingly, but from some of the other runners in the queue. Two women caught up as though they hadn’t seen each other since the same race the previous year: “Good to see you, how’ve you been, how’s the ankle/knee/hip?” You know the sort of chatter – we all have it.
