How to be safe when running alone?!


Question: How to be safe when running alone?
I'm a 17 year old who goes running 3 days a week and am home alone monday through friday. While I may live in a safe area and go running in a safe park, I still would like to take all precautions. What steps should I take to ensure my safety?
I was thinking, taking an armband(to put my ipod & cellphone) and to have a whistle around my neck as well as carrying pepperspray.
What else should I do?

Answers:

Keep looking behind you at least every 5 mins. Put your phone somewhere not visible but easy to get to if someone attacks you have a better chance of calling the police. If you have a friend that could go with you at least once a week that is good. Go at weekend so you have someone at home. Never ever go when its dark or late its way too dangerous. I would not reccomend listening to your iPod at all.

Or even better join a gym or womens excercise class although not cheap its a lot safer!! Hope i helped!! And yes i am a woman incase your wondering.

Hope i helped! :)
P.S stay safe
