@tarynsyap: Staying safe whilst running🚦 I’m still anxious running in public! and i’ve been running since i was 9. I started running on my own at age 14/15. *Social anxiety does play a part, wondering what people might think, seeing people & cars I know, etc. BUT It’s important to be aware of your safety, so that you can feel confident and happy whilst running! SAFETY TIPS 🏃🏻‍♀️ - Tell friends/family your route and expected return time. Live location & find my iPhone is important! - Vary your route! Changing routes & running times so that your route isn’t super predictable. - Run with a friend, group, or club if you can. Most people feel more comfortable/confident running with others. - Stay aware of your surroundings. Keep music at medium to low volume or use just 1 airpod. - Choose busier, well-lit routes. It is safer to run in areas with regular foot traffic and good visibility. - Carry your phone. Call someone if you need to, or call emergency services if needed for an accident/situation. - Wear reflective or high-vis clothing in low light. Vehicles are a much higher risk than strangers are. - Hiding the start/end point of routes that begin near your home on strava. I feel fairly confident in the summer with longer daylight hours and living in a coastal area, but it’s important to be aware :) See you out there! xx *I didn’t notice how much I looked behind me until I was editing this run 😅 #safety #safe #Running #run #runtok
