When I am home for breaks I run with music, I live in a fairly safe neighborhood, not that anything bad couldnt happen, I just think I will be safe listening to music. Then when I am at school whether I run with the team or alone I don't listen to music.

When I do listen to music I usualy have metal or some from of hard rock. I like the fast beats and double bass so it is easy to listen to. I dont really have any reason but I just like to listen to music.

I love running to music, whether it's in headphones or in my head. It helps regulate my breathing, and keeps my mind off my muscles.

You know, it's funny to me how arrogant some people can be when it comes to NOT listening to music when they run. I met a guy just the other day who said "no serious runners listen to music when running."

Whatever. I'll keep listening... Oh, and I'm faster than him too...

if i listen to music is definitly techo/persian music. its very upbeat and keeps me running but that only when i run alone

i almost always run with music but the last couple races i ran, either my batteries died half way through(cd player) or one my daughter lent me her ipod but i couldn't figure it out(tough being outdated!)it wasn't the end if the world and i ran surprising well.i've always said my fast music was my motivation to run fast.i find it amusing that people don't think you're a serious runner running with music.i totally enjoy it and it isn't so loud that i worry about safety issues.i figure whatever works for you! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
