Think of others who are competing or training - don't make a noise near the start or the areas where the field events are taking place. If you are being lapped, move out into the second or third lane to let the leaders through. If you don't, chances are they won't be saying "Hi" when they pass you. It will be a bit stronger. Don't ever cross the finishing line unless you are participating in a race. It actually does disrupt the timekeepers and plays havoc on the electronic timing. Be polite to the officials - you need them more than they need you. Responsibility is the order of the day. If the programme is running behind, don't assume that your event will be late. Organisers usually do their best to keep programmes on time and catch up where they fall behind. If in doubt, ask the meeting organiser.
Every runner you should take a few moments and consider their safety while running. Running is generally a safe activity, but there are still perils worth considering and preparing for. For example, running at night, while often pleasent due to lower tempatures and decreased traffic brings with it the added danger of decreased visibility. The weather can pose running safety risks; running in extremely hot or cold weather, for example, requires special precautions, to say nothing of running in inclement weather.
Always listen to your coach, its important. Mutual repect for other athlete's is encouraged whether they are training with you or not.
