With the New Year just hours away, resolutions are likely bouncing around in your head — things you “should” do more often, things you want to do more (or less) of.
There’s no denying that increasing physical fitness and activity has a place on most people’s resolution lists, and oftentimes running is a part of that. Whether you’re looking to start running or to improve your current running pace or stamina, safety is a key aspect of clocking miles.
If you’re new to running or need a little refresher on the best safety guidelines, one of Philly’s own running groups, City Fit Girls, has outlined seven safety tips for running alone — especially for women.
But if you venture out for a run — especially during winter in the dark — you might want to go the extra mile on personal security by bringing along some sort of self-defense. Below, you’ll find four self-defense products made for runners to have at the ready, without any need of digging through a bag while your safety is at risk.
