Relatedly, iirc, this effect would be more noticeable in smaller spinners than in larger ones? Which is one reason people might disprefer smaller ones. Would it be a significant difference? I’m not sure, but if so, jogging would be a bit difficult, either it would quickly become too easy (and then dangerous, once the levitation kicks in) when you’re running down-spin, or it would become exhausting when you’re running up-spin.
A space where people can’t (or wont) jog isn’t ideal for human health.
I guess since it sounds like they’re going to be about a km long and 20 stories deep there’ll be enough room for a nice running track with minimal upspin/downspin sections.

Running parallel to the spin axis would be fine, though.
