Is there any other force of friction acting on us while running apart from frictional force of the road ?

Solution

Besides the frictional force on the road acting on the body while running there is another kind of friction that acts upon you called drag force. This force counteracts the forward running which means it is in the opposite direction of forward running. Drag force is actually a resistive force acting upon through air which causes deceleration.
Drag force= 1/2pv²AD
where p is density of fluid,v is velocity, A is area and D is drag coefficient.

It is stated that every action has a equal and and opoosite direction so if a body is at rest and there there is no net externel force acting on it so there are any other force acting on the body like frictional is the force acts when only a body is in motion
