The net force is the total force acting on an object. It is determined by subtracting the opposing force from the applied force.
In this case, the runner exerts a running force of 325 N to the right and experiences an air resistance force of 45 N to the left.
To find the net force, we subtract the opposing force from the applied force:
Net force = Applied force - Opposing force
= 325 N - 45 N
= 280 N
Therefore, the net force of the runner is 280 N.
