Can I wear one of these to watch videos while running (to train for) a marathon at the same time? I've gotten bored at running since childhood, so this would be a fine way to cope, right?

r/Marathon_Training - Can I wear one of these to watch videos while running (to train for) a marathon at the same time? I've gotten bored at running since childhood, so this would be a fine way to cope, right?

Google query: "show me a picture of that apparatus that one would wear on their neck in order to look at their phone hands-free while walking"

Does that only work while walking or can it work while marathon-running too?

I would feel bored at running unless I also got to watch a video hands-free at the same time.

I also wonder what of those apparati can fit a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series of foldable phones.

Do any marathon trainees / runners ever wear these so they can pass the time more productively and excitedly while they run? Or are they not allowed?

I'm only going to be interested in running a marathon if I have a form of entertainment to occupy me while doing so, thanks.

Try posting to r/RunningCirclejerk. There are plenty of serious athletes that can multi task over there.

Yes you can definitely do that, is it a terrible idea yes 100% are you likely to be run over and squashed 120%. Are you likely to knock over a small child or old person 140%!

I'm giving you 360% of positive affirmation that this isn't something you should do.

I know this is a troll post so why don't you just stay on the couch

That's a joke right?

Who would do a sport he doesn't like.

"terrible" seems like an exaggeration...

I lost 16 pounds training for a marathon and the ONLY thing I changed was how much I ran, but you do you.

Honestly bro you would be way better suited to just going on a treadmill. Way less hassle and you can use a much bigger screen.

Same with exercise bikes.

This is not a healthy mindset.

Try it and find out. I'll wait for your results.

I wear one of these. I also place no value in my nose, forehead, teeth nor small children I smash into on my long runs /s

For a more serious response OP, if you're obsessed with losing weight, obsessed with looking and feeling Young again then first come over to r/CICO to see how to lose weight in an effective way (TL;DR eat fewer calories than you need). If you also want to do some sport to make you feel good (I hear you) then choose something that will get you out of bed in the morning. If you need to buy something like this to start running then maybe running isn't the answer, at least not yet.

If you do decide to run then please do not buy that thing, please!

Running may not be your thing. time to sprint

[–]principium_est 1 point  

You sure can. Make sure you do it somewhere you'll be caught on film running into a wall
