Follow these tips for safe, fun training runs:
- Give yourself plenty of space. Find streets or trails that are less crowded, or run during times when fewer people are outside.
- Be visible at all times. From making eye contact with drivers to wearing bright clothing, make sure that you are seen -- especially when running on a busy road.
- Be street smart. Run against traffic. Look both ways crossing an intersection and obey traffic signals.
- Mix up your running route. Try running at a new park, trail, or neighborhood for a change of scenery and terrain. Remember to remain aware of your surroundings at all times.
- Keep things interesting. If your running options are limited, try listening to a music (on low volume) or running with a partner to make the run more exciting.
