Safety Tips for Runners

Published: May 22, 2024, 4:01 a.m.

Running should be a safe sport for everyone who participates but unfortunately, that\u2019s 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.\xa0

On today\u2019s show, we\u2019re 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\u2019ll hear their thoughts on how running can be made safer.

Some of the questions we\u2019ll 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\xa0

Running can have incredible mental and physical benefits but it\u2019s 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\u2019s get into it!
