Whats the best portable music player to run with?
Your memory and imagination. A key part of running safely anywhere is situational awareness, so ditching the iPod is usually a good idea. Keeping your ears open helps you better assess things as you run along. A loose dog that’s having an aggressive moment will often not make a lot of sound just prior to contact. Hybrid cars can also be remarkably quiet until they are right on top of you. Most races either discourage or outright ban portable music players for safety reasons. Finally, you don’t want to miss all the really excellent conversation that we have on our club runs . . . .
