Given a post that is a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation and an associated claim about its type, verify if the claim is true or not. The claim asks if the posts are historical or hypothetical. The posts are "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and they are "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future. Say 'yes' if the claim is true otherwise say 'no'
Q: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I am a runner, currently marathon training, taking it seriously. 

My regular route is along the coast (south England).

It is a narrow tarmac path surrounded either by grass or beach shale. 

To begin with I will acknowledge other pedestrians have equal rights to the path.

Given I'm running at 6mph it is much harder for me to step off the path, higher momentum.

I am wearing road shoes, which are not as suited to mud (it rains a lot in the uk) as the pedestrians walking boots.

I am much more likely to trip or fall on shale or mud going at speed.

Old and disabled people get a free pass obviously, and if you're walking away from me I understand. But if you are walking 2 abreast coming towards me, get in single file or step off the path. Don't just glare me down.

Ps dogs on leads need to be on the same side of the path as owners, or else you are a walking trip wire. 

Update:

It seems I have received a fair bit of internet hate and taken a karma hit. Let me share what I have learnt.

I take the point about "whoever is the cause of danger should take responsibility for this risk" and as such I will be dodging when necessary.

I think the ahole judgement is a little misdirected: too much focus on my perceived entitlement to the WHOLE path. Let me clarify I am primarily focussed on groups who walk two abreast and don't drop to single file.

Also to pick up on some of the hate: a lot of people have commented that I should go somewhere else / the path is meant for pedestrians / people just want to enjoy themselves.  To them I respond: I live in the coast my options are either drive somewhere, run through the city or run along the coast, this is my home; I am a pedestrian, I appreciate that bikes and skateboards can be dangerous, I am not a bike ; I am people I also just want to enjoy myself.

I get the feeling that a few people have brought their own experiences to the table when deciding, it sounds like there is a lot of frustration in both directions. So let me remind everyone, in the words of Plato: be kind , for everyone is fighting their own battle .
