I say no because you need to be aware of your surroundings while running and with the music you're taking away your sense of hearing. Just my opinion.

Never. Like hearing what I can't hear the rest of the day...and it's dangerous around traffic.

do y'all ever run inside on a treadmill?

I almost always wear my xm radio or listen to some type of music while running. i do run on a dreadmill from time to time, but try to avoid it all possible. Most of my runs are interval type runs anyways, so dreadmill doesn't work as well.

haahaa at the "dreadmill" comment!

i have some issues with my knees, so i run on the treadmill a lot of the time, but i run on the roads usually once a week, if not twice.

I'm a new(ish) runner - only been running 6 months or so - and never knew there was a controversy over this.

I always run with my ipod. I do see the safety angle ... and don't crank the volume so I can hear if a car is coming up on me. But I like to run with music.

I've never run in a race but would abide by their rules.

ran 5k today listening to my mp3. love when a good song comes on and i find myself picking up the pace to keep rhythm. without my radio, i've found that the "hail mary" keeps a pretty good rhythm as well.
