Depends on where you are. Our traffic laws state that if there is a sidewalk you can't legally walk down the street (and bicycle lanes are officially street).
On the side of the runners - our laws do say that if there is not a sidewalk that pedestrians are legally supposed to face traffic, so joggers should be running towards you. They should however step off of the road surface when traffic is present - sometimes of course this is not practical/possible so cut them a break.
To tell the truth I don't see large numbers of runners out on the streets here. I think we have enough long paved paths that most distance runners choose to use them rather than use roadways.
