Run to the Top Podcast | The Ultimate Guide to Running Safety Tips for Runners
Running should be a safe sport for everyone who participates but unfortunately, that’s not always the case. This could happen for a variety of reasons including injuries, weather conditions, and even harassment. This is especially true for women and people of color who more frequently confront unsafe situations.
On today’s show, we’re joined by coaches Andie Cozzarelli and Hayley Jane to discuss what risks runners need to be aware of to stay safe and tips for dealing with or avoiding these dangers. We’ll hear their thoughts on how running can be made safer.
Some of the questions we’ll answer include:
- What are the most common safety concerns runners face?
- Why might female runners need to be especially careful when running alone?
- How Andie and Hayley have handled unsafe situations in their own running?
- What are some strategies runners can use to stay safe when running
Running can have incredible mental and physical benefits but it’s important to practice it safely. Even if you have never experienced safety concerns when running, these strategies will prepare you for dealing with them if they do. So let’s get into it!
