outdoor running tips.
Stay in visible areas.
Running in secluded spots can be great for headspace, but staying in or at least very close to well populated areas is safe practice. Knowing there are people nearby to support you should you need will allow you to feel more confident on your run
Avoid distraction.
If you're listening to playlists and audio runs during your training, ensure your volume is low enough to hear traffic and other potential risks. Also, avoid screen watching as this increases the risk of trips and falls
Be careful of drivers.
Even if you think you're visible, drivers may be distracted by other demands of the road, so keeping distant and vigilant is key. Make sure they've stopped before stepping out in front of a car in the road
Don’t run alone late.
If your schedule requires you to run late at night, having others around you (whether they're running/cycling with you) will increase your safety. You can look into joining a physical run club to run with others. If you must run alone, let someone know your route, the time you left, your ETA and perhaps share your live location
