Run to Win's Blaine Moore kicks off this month's collaboration on workout audio with a look at the pros and cons of running with headphones. Although not quite as hard-nosed as Carl Kruger, Blaine favours silence when running over audio accompaniment.
Personally, I've always had music playing in the background no matter what activity I was engaged in; so the concept of complete silence seems a little odd. Still, I'm curious to see where other people tend to fall on this issue - music or a little quiet time?
