Any Runner Should Learn Where To Buy Stun Guns Or A Keychain Alarm For Protection

Running is great for the mind, body and spirit. Studies show that running can raise your levels of good cholesterol, increase lung capacity, lower your risk of blood clots and boost your immune system. Studies have also shown that running can lower the risk of many types of cancer and the risk of having a stroke. It can help burn fat and lose weight; in fact next to cross country skiing it is the most effective exercise in terms of calories burned per minute. Running can help boost your confidence by helping you attain your physical goals. Running can help regulate sleep patterns and we all know how important sleep can be for your mind, body and overall mood. Running naturally releases endorphins which can lift your mood and help fight stress and all of the nasty health problems often associated with that stress. Running secretes hormones that can help naturally treat depression. In fact it always troubles me to see anti-depression drugs so widely prescribed but rarely with a prescription to get out and try running. Sign up for a 5k sometime and look at the mood of the people milling about before and after the race. I think one thing you’ll find in common is that all of these people probably seem happy.

With all of the benefits of running in mind they mean nothing if you aren’t actually protected when you go out for a run. I myself often run by the lakeshore of Lake Michigan and it’s a beautiful scene with the sun setting over the lake on my one side and the city skyline on my other. I know though that beautiful surroundings do not prevent bad things from happening and certainly do not make me immune to crime. Especially running at night in the 3rd most populated city in America I need to be ever watchful and ready to defend myself at all times. For me this means always carrying on my person a keychain alarm. A keychain alarm is nothing more than a small, handheld alarm that I can activate if I ever get into trouble while running along the trail. It’s extremely loud and extremely effective in deterring an attack as well as drawing the attention of others.

I know a couple of female friends that run with small stun devices and the main difference between a stun device and a keychain alarm is that a stun device will actually physically impair an attacker and might be a good thing for women to carry in their purse or while they are out for a jog as oftentimes their attacker may be a male who is bigger and stronger than they are. Either way a runner, man or woman, should always be prepared to defend themselves in any situation and a keychain alarm or stun gun can certainly help there.

Every Runner Should Own A Dog Repeller

I would consider myself a 'runner' in that I strap on a pair of running shoes and set the streets of my neighborhood ablaze with my 9 minute miles about 3 times a week. I live in a middle class neighborhood and it’s one that I won’t hesitate to run at night as it’s a neighborhood I consider relatively safe. However when I do run at night (which is my usual running time as I work during the day and spend time with the family after work) I always make sure to bring 2 very important pieces of protection with me. One is my reflective vest so that cars can better see me in the dark and the second piece of protection is my electronic dog repeller. I used to run with my lab, Kody, and even as he approached old age he was still able to run faster than I and that leads me to believe there aren’t too many wild dogs that I could outrun even if my life depended on it. I have never been attacked by a dog while running and I’d certainly like to keep it that way.
The electronic dog repeller works by emitting a very loud sound that causes such discomfort to the dog that it retreats from the noise. Fortunately for your neighbors the sound is of such a high frequency that it cannot be detected by the human ear. The dog repeller also comes equipped with a flashing strobe which can further be used to confuse the canine to the point where it inherently flees from the area.
As I said, I myself have a dog, a yellow lab named Kody and he’s almost like another kid, in fact we have had him longer than we’ve had our three children. I’ve always loved dogs and as such would never intentionally try to harm one and that is what is so great about the electronic dog repeller, it is a humane instrument that causes the dog no harm. Unlike dog repeller spray that actually causes a dog great pain, albeit temporary, the electronic dog repeller works simply by confusing the dog and causing it enough audible discomfort to exit your area. The electronic dog repeller is so safe and humane that it can actually be used to train dogs and even has a training setting to do just that.
So please, as one dog loving runner to another, please be sure that you are prepared for anything when out for a run in your neighborhood. It is better to have the repeller and not need it then need it and not have it.
