Training -- Yes, probably ~80% of the time. More than half of that is spoken word podcasts instead of music.

Races -- Never.

So far it doesn't seem to be an issue with racing. Amost no one wears one. I'm going to take a head count at the Philly Marathon and see how many around me have one on and see how aware of their surroundings they are. It will give me something to do for at least the first half. I was going to wear mine but I'm going to leave it home this time and give it try without it. If I don't break 3 hours I'm blaming it on lack of music...LOL.

Training: Yes. ~90%
Racing: Yes, if it's not against the rules. ...which now means almost never.

I've only done up to 10k, doing my first half next month. Don't plan on using it then either but probably will if I ever do a marathon.

I do listen to them when I run. I usually don't bring them to a race because I have an older version of the ipod and after it bounces around for about 10 minutes it stops. I have found a way to get around the problem and will run my next race with it.

Training, yes. Common sense is too not have the thing so loud you can't hear.I run around my apartment and have to pay attention so that no one will run me over (idiots)

Don't race as of right now (newbie)

Training yes

running on a TM - yes, I use my mp3 player.

running outdoors, regardless of whether it's a training run or a race - no.
