After the last item on how SCD should not be an excuse not to exercise, something which probably has a higher chance of getting you killed:
Please try to remember that when you go outside for a run, especially with your mp3 player, that the world will not wait for you to finish training.
I have seen so many near misses lately where runners have just gone in front of cars/motorbikes without even looking. Taking the chance that the driver will stop for them or end out having to pay on their insurance.
Today I saw someone who took the chance with a big van travelling at speed and ended up in a disastrous state. If he manages to live, his life will never be the same now. If it had been a lorry, it would be a dead cert.
Please if you train in an urban environment remember that there are thousands of people all just as stressed as you thinking they are in the right.
Sometimes to win you have to be humble.
Stay safe out there, but keep training. Better still only train in a designated exercise area (like a park while we can still use them for free).
