Do you guys prefer running with music or without? I've been experimenting with both and wondering what works best for others. Does music distract you or boost your performance?
I'm a no-music guy myself. I find that it distracts me from my breathing and pace. Plus, I like being able to hear my footsteps and the sounds around me - it helps me stay present and focused. That being said, I know plenty of runners who swear by music to get them pumped up and motivated. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. What works for you?
I'm still experimenting, but I think I'm a no-music guy too. I like being able to focus on my breathing and pace, and music can be a distraction. But hey, if it works for you, that's all that matters!
