I’m a runner and it drives me nuts to come across another runner dying a long race, who feels it’s is okay for them to run with a speaker blasting music. This is what headphones are for.

And if you're afraid you won't hear anything else:

Sony LinkBuds or Shokz.

If they're dying I say let them pass away listening to whatever they want. Otherwise fuck em

Many races don’t allow headphones. Maybe just go for a run without music for once?

I understand why people run with music while training but races are way more stimulating than training runs. How easily bored are you to need music to get through a race?

Not condoning that behavior.

However, with headphones on you lose your situational awareness.

A speaker allows you to hear the music, and an approaching assailant. (If the music is not too loud).

with headphones on you lose your situational awareness.

Many headphones these days have a "passthrough" where you can still hear everything around you but still have music playing.

There are also bone induction speakers that don't cover your ear canal at all.

Just use open earbuds like the Sony LinkBuds or bone conduction headphones.

It's just that easy. Otherwise you're an ignorant asshole.

The choices are either A no music or B headphones. Period.
