Staying safe while running

Running outdors is a great way to stay fit and healthy, however, when planning a running session, one aspect that every runner should consider is their personal running safety.  Here are some tips to keep you safe while you run.

  • It’s better to run circular routes because you won’t have to retrace your steps
  • Avoid quiet areas
  • Stick to well-lit, well-populated roads and paths
  • Try to train with a friend, or even in a group
  • Tell someone before each training session which route you’re going to run
