    I’ve never run with music. It appears to me, to be a pretty dangerous activity in an urban environment. I’ve had a few near misses ‘naked’. Music while running has never really interested me anyway. I’m 55 so maybe that’s why…

      I wear a set of bone conduction headphones and listen to audiobooks. I can hear the reading, but can also hear the biker whizzing up behind me without announcing himself. They’re fantastic.

      In some states you could be stalked by a cougar so you want your ears wide open.

        I live in Jersey and have a trail I run along the river, and despite the fact I just know there’s nothing stalking me, this one section goes through some thick bamboo, and I always just imagine something is there.

            Isn’t it just at or around bars with cheap beer and indoor smoking that cougar attacks spike?

      Music really helps with interval running ( If that’s the correct word, I have English as second language), just load up a playlist with fitting tempos and then just follow the rhythm.

      I prefer to hear the sounds of nature though, but not all live as rural as I
