Which is more important to you: "going hard" or being safe and considerate to those around you?
ETA: good point about stretching before vs. stretching after, though. I should have mentioned that, and so should the OP.
- gk1 11y agoIt's not an all-or-nothing decision. I run with music but I keep the volume low enough that I can hear what's around me.
- notacoward 11y agoIt's not all or nothing, but the two do often come into conflict. I'll bet hardly anybody reading this runs only by themselves on empty roads or trails. When such contention does occur, I think it's pretty clear that safety and consideration have to take priority. Isolating and distracting yourself with audio, even at low volume, is contrary to that. Also, I seriously doubt that anyone who uses music to "pump it up" and "go hard" is staying at low volume.
