Why you should run without music

[@felixcartal]

my pace and focus improved so much ever since i stopped listening to music while running

[@conor_runs]

I totally agree! I feel much more in tune with myself when running without music

[@TremendousSax]

I love running without music or recorded audio. I spend way too much of my time on a screen or consuming content. Running is my opportunity to unplug and explore my own thoughts. I would never want to disturb my running induced contemplation with noise

[@conor_runs]

Really true. I feel like I never am not consuming content now and I really need moments to unplug and just be in silence.

No music is tough but you get a better mind-body connection. When you don't have music you tune out the body feeling. Also, I love that the mind just floats and thinks. Nice b role a during the second half of this video, breaks up the talking a bit and makes this video entertaining.

[@conor_runs]

Absolutely! I love being able to zone out and get some miles done

[@BunkJunkinsJR]

did my first 10K today (very slow, but i did it!) and i did it without music. i LOVE music but no music is the way for runs.

[@conor_runs]

No music is the way! Nice job on the 10k! Slow is the way to go

[@alejandropagan4627]

I'm gonna keep listening to music 👍Great motivation source and you can find ones with the correct step and rhythm rates

[@conor_runs]

Sounds good man glad to hear it!

[@EnglishWithAidan]

Hey man, nice video, keep up the hard work making these videos

[@conor_runs]

Thank you! Will do.

I used to run short fast runs before with music, but now I'm focusing on long slow distances (no music) and personally I feel like running without music really helps with breath control and running basically turns into meditation. The quality of my runs have improved a ton

[@conor_runs]

I totally agree! The breathing is big for me. I really feel more in control with no music

[@aarononeill4303]

Good video - keep it up!
I was thinking of carrying out my short(er) runs without music (focus on breath, cadence, form etc.) and keep the podcasts/music for the longer runs. Right now I am injured with a plantar fascia issue; If you have any experience with this and healing/caring for it, I would love to hear your opinion.
Subscribing and hope to see more and even better videos. All the best from Ireland.

[@conor_runs]

Hey thank you! I have not had too bad of injury experience except when I had been running on the same running shoes for 2+ years. Maybe reduce the weekly miles you are doing? Try different shoes or running surface?
That is a good idea with the shorter runs for sure. It is the longer runs where it is really hard to run without anything in my ears.
Thank you for the subscribe! I am excited to keep creating videos

[@Shevock]

Goggins is wise.

[@conor_runs]

Couldn't agree more. Stay hard

[@drnkz]

I listen books and no way I will stop doing this.

[@conor_runs]

Fair enough. I have never tried listening to audio books on me runs! maybe i should

[@tomopasta8282]

I'm used to running without headphones. I tried for some time but I always felt like being isolated from my surroundings. I love how open and free I can feel while running. Recently, I ordered a pair of bone conduction ones. I want to see if the feeling of open head is gonna stay with them or not.

[@conor_runs]

I would love to hear how the bone conduction pair works! I have always been interested in them. I definitely agree, that "open and free" feeling is awesome.

[@mawijohannruguian8345]
