Running with or without music - which is more beneficial? This is an old debate in the running community that never gets old, and it seems that reaching a common opinion is mission impossible. However, for the naysayers, perhaps they need to start seriously considering a change in their running habits.
One evidence, at least significant and illustrative, in this regard. A legend like Haile Gebrselassie set a historic milestone in world athletics in 1998, when he was able to break the 2,000-meter world record (4:52.86). The great Ethiopian athlete acknowledged that his pace cadence had been maintaining it, thanks to the song "Pop Scatman", which is what had been playing during the race on the public address system of the National Indoor Arena stadium in Birmingham (UK), as our senior runner Alberto Cebollada Kremer rightly emphasizes in his article: "Music for running: Does it influence performance during the race?"
Furthermore, in that same post, Cebollada also points out that there is scientific research on this topic, whose conclusions speak of music being able to improve sports performance, and even accelerate the recovery process.
