Running out if the running lane in itself is not illegal.you must interfere with the 1st baseman's attempt to "field" a throw. If the throw is rattling around the right field bullpen because the catcher threw poorly you do not have interference. You must interfere with a field able throw.

The discussion is Fed and as such the quality of throw is not an issue. In Fed you are judging the ability of the fielder to throw it, bad throw equals interference. Actually in Fed you are judging both. 

 

Generally but not always true and I forget the OP so Im not sure if the so-called exception (fielder in foul, runner in fair; or visa versa) applies
