One of the things you need to take into consideration no matter which area you choose to run in, is your safety. From wearing reflectors when running in low light situations on the road to pepper spray for joggers to help defend yourself should the need arise you need to be smart.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to run with a partner. Sometimes schedules do not match up or the other person just does not feel like running. And recently, my morning running partners have not been waking up (Yeah, I’m calling you out! So, for me that has meant not running in the mornings because of my stance against running alone. But I do not want to keep missing runs because I do not have a running partner. So, I am going to take some steps to try to be as safe as possible if I do run alone.
Fitness enthusiasts know that they are consistently at the highest risk of attack, especially when their exercise habits and hobbies take them out of doors. In particular rapists have been known to frequent jogging paths and lay in wait for their victims in secluded spots that are not easily seen from surrounding areas. Joggers no longer have to avoid their favorite runs, just because they do not have buddies running with them. Instead, with the help of pepper spray specifically designed for joggers, they can run to their hearts content.
Would-be attackers count on the intense concentration that is so common to joggers and serious runners, and therefore bank on the element of surprise that is really all that usually stands between a successful attack and a defeated assailant. The pepper spray for joggers is the great equalizer that allows the jogger to make up even for a momentary lapse in awareness. Granted, no pepper spray can take the place of running buddies, choosing a well lit path through a much populated park, or simply switching to a different running routine altogether.
Since the canister of pepper spray is so lightweight that it is easily incorporated into the overall exercise attire, it is perfect for anyone with an active lifestyle. Moreover, since it comes standard with a Velcro strap, it can be attached right to the arm or wrist, ensuring that it is literally at someone’s fingertips. Best of all, since in the past the use of mace was shown to have less severe effects on criminals that were termed “drug crazed”, the advent of pepper spray, and Mace brand pepper spray for runners and joggers in particular, has been shown to work on anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Being that you are probably a female reading this, you should probably be careful running by yourself anywhere at night. Obviously you’d be much better off running with someone but in general I’d say its safe.
This past fall, I tried bringing Pepper with me on some runs. Running with her was okay, but she’s not a leash dog at all and I swear she was out to get me. She actually tripped me a few times which wasn’t cool at all. I feared she would trip me when a car was coming and then that would be the end of me. So she stopped coming on runs with me. But, now that I am more focused on being more safe, especially when running in the dark, I feel I need to really give it a shot with Pepper.
You can get a stun baton and spray mace online. You may not know it, but crime and perilous situations of all kinds are running rampant in this country. The best indicator of how effective pepper spray will be is the hotness rating, or SHU, with several products over 2 million units. You may not think that tear gas is important to your safety, but it is. Unfortunately, most people are not prepared to protect themselves or their families using pepper spray for runners.
