Consider the problem of finding the time T at which none of the n-1 moving runners are in the arc Z of length 2/n centered at the stationary runner 0 in an instance of the Shifted Lonely Runner Conjecture (SLRC). We show two important results for prime n and for large n. Firstly, there exist atleast 3 time intervals during which atmost 1 moving runner is in Z for the SLRC, and, there exist atleast 4(n-1) time intervals during which atmost 1 moving runner is in Z for the LRC. Secondly, for both the SLRC and the LRC considered separately, there are atleast 2 different moving runners which prevent the loneliness of runner 0 by being the atmost one runner in Z at some time.
