The video, filmed on a residential street in an unspecified US location, shows Torell explaining the importance of running against traffic on roads lacking sidewalks. "If you are ever running where there is no sidewalk, always run on the opposite side of the road so that you're facing the cars," Torell advises in the video. "So you can always see if a car is coming, cause you just never know, especially with headphones."

The video's popularity underscores the need for consistent reminders about road safety practices among runners of all experience levels.
