Running alone, especially as a woman or female-presenting person, can be dangerous. Here's how to run solo and stay safe
Running, riding a bike, walking, hiking—there are tons of endurance sports that are arguably best done solo. For me, running alone is my thinking time, when I come up with the best ideas and solve problems I've come up against during the workday. And to be honest, it can also be hard to find a training partner who runs the same pace as me, or who's free at the same times. So, usually, I'm out running solo.
Go with Your Gut "Every single one of us has instincts. The first thing is that you should always go with your instinct. Women are used to suppressing that," says Thiry."Stop feeling the need to believe other people, and if someone gives you the creeps, keep away from them. The worst case is that you look a little rude. Best case scenario, you're right, and you averted disaster. If your spider-sense tingles, remove yourself from the situation.
Speak Up "Make it meaningful if you feel threatened. Tell the person to get away from you and make it loud so they know you mean it and so anyone around can hear you as well. You can say get the hell away, get the fuck away, mean business," says Thiry."Let people know that you don't know this guy and you feel threatened. Maybe you offend someone who didn't mean you harm, but he's in your zone. People, in general, know to not get in your direct space.
