Is it ok to listen to music while running in the outside?


Category: Running

Many people prefer to listen to music while running.
They regard it as a way to get rid of boringness during the running, esp. for long runs. But is it really ok to put on the earphones and listen to the music while running? The answer is no. The reasons are listed below.

Potential security hazards

The loud music may distract your attention and let you ignore the potential hazards of oncoming cars, cyclists and other runners etc. With the earphones on, the runners are less likely to be aware the surroundings. It's truly unsafe to listen to music while running in the outside.

Harmful to the hearing and health

Runners are prone to turn their iPod to the largest volume since the surroundings are usually not quite. It's a known fact that exposing your ears to loud music for a long time does great harm to your hearing and health.

Affect the running cadence

You're more likely to speed up and slow down based on the tempo of the music. Taboo in running is the random change of running cadence.

In a word, avoid listening to music while running. Bear in mind the safety factors. Have a good command of your breath and frequency, thus achieving the initial health purpose.
