If they're running side-by-side, the defender is no longer in the path of the opponent and has lost LGP if they ever had it.

As for LGP, he never says when she gained it. Assuming she had it before they started moving, which is a very likely scenario here, she does not lose it by merely running side by side with the offensive player.

Disagree...LGP requires being in the path...running side-by-side is not in the path.
