Should you listen to music when running? #shorts

[callacrap]

I prefer not hearing myself fight for breath at the minute, so Spotify is a winner for now 😂

[davidsargsian]

My brain is my own radio, all my thoughts are songs when im bored 😂

I always run in nature, the forest, the beach, a trail, a beautiful way to listen to my own thoughts and feelings and the sounds of mother nature, just awesome.

Totally 1000% agree! Safety is the reason why I stopped listening to music but all the other benefits you mention became very obvious. Now, I don't even think about listening to anything other than my breathing, my shoes and my surroundings.

I tried this method multiple times and I’m easily distracted and normally won’t finish my run. Music helps me through it. It keeps me focused.

The voices in my head is all the fuel I need to get the work done

Music is a good motivator for running.

I like more of a middle ground-one earbud in with low volume music. As I run and get more into a zone, I start to tune out the music and its basically like it isn't there. I helps me not get bored at the beginnings of runs as well as staying in them when they get difficult. From a safety standpoint I can still hear my surroundings clearly and there's the faintness of my own footsteps and breathing, too! :)

100% agree. Listening to yourself and the current environment you are in is more important.

Could never be me🤣 listening to music and chewing gum while doing my daily run distracts me from the pain I’m in and the gasps for air‼️

[vishwanathsharma]

I did this. Whenever I went for a run I had a separate playlist for running, one day my Airpods were out of battery halfway through my run and I just ran without any music. I was surprised how alert and concentrated I was on my workout. I definitely recommend this.

Funnily enough, i dont enjoy hearing my cheap shoes and insoles and raspy fat kid breathing when i run, but good video anyways

I love running both ways, I used to need music or a podcast to run the same as you but I started to run without it and I love the way it feels, hearing the wind and enjoying the breathtaking views of a trail run. At night time though, some ambient music such as “Snowfall” by Oneheart is still amazing to pair with a setting Sun during a quick 15-20 miler

[jonathanbelone]

There you go... my mind always wonders anyways. Love running 🏃 ❤🙏

[amineHighTube]

Its therapeutic to talk with yourself, especially if you run in nature

[TheMastermindII]

goggins said he runs without music so he can think as he runs, whatever pops up in his mind in the moment and says out loud, he converses with himself. He calls this self talk.
He says once he gets home he immediately writes down everything he can remember
I’m going to try implement this but I’ve noticed without the music high running is so much harder😭

[stephenrose]

I do it both ways, weekly training mileage music mostly, races mostly no music, main music is Bach, lively and keeps me running and feeling grateful 🙏

[hrishiborse]

Its true actually running without any kind of sound is kind of relaxing 😌😌😌

[sarahlennox]

I like both lol. On days I'm feeling motivated, I enjoy listening to music to plan out my Star Wars fanfics (you, shut up, I love the battles, the cool tech, and perilous but fictional scenarios 😂). I enjoy going without music now that I've dealt with a lot of personal issues and did the inner work lol.

[parispirouz]

Agree! Helps you to be present and enjoy the run
