Plan and Awareness:- Vary your routine: Do not stick to the same route or timing every day to avoid becoming predictable.
- Face traffic: Always run facing oncoming traffic so vehicles cannot pull up behind you unnoticed.
- Stick to well-lit areas: Avoid isolated spots like alleyways or heavily wooded areas where someone could be concealed.
Communication:- Share your live location: Use a running tracker app or share your phone's live location with a trusted friend or family member.
- Update others: Let someone know exactly where you are going and how long you expect to be out.
Equipment:- Sound awareness: WMP recommends using only one earbud or Bone conductors keeping the volume very low so you can still hear your surroundings.
- Personal alarm: Consider carrying a personal attack alarm to attract help or distract an aggressor if needed.
- Charge your phone: Ensure your mobile is fully charged and concealed.
Public Vigilance:- Trust your instincts: If something doesn't feel right, change your route or head to a safe place like a busy shop immediately.
- Making others feel safe: WMP also advises runners to cross the road or call out if they are about to run past someone, as running up behind people can be frightening.
- Try to run with others, safety in numbers is always safer.
- Stay safe
