I've noticed some runners route the earbud wires through their clothing; perhaps that helps the earbuds stay in? Also, the iPod Shuffle is quite small and would seem a lot easier to carry than a Nano or Classic. I'm still without iPod though. David, thanks for your comment.

I’m still without iPod though.

Running without an iPod is an excellent way to clear the mind and, in addition, is somewhat more relaxing. It feels good after the run, but during the run it can certainly get boring (for me anyway) and somewhat tedious (personally). Then again, running with an iPod is fun and also pushes you much harder, I find. The only real downsides are that you actually have to carry the thing and that the earphones keep coming out! Good post, quite interesting. I’ve been on both sides of the fence: running with and without an iPod, and it seems that each really has it’s beneficiaries.

Can you point me to the actual studies? I would think it could take your mind off what you're doing, which could be helpful for some people. I still think it's unnecessary and don't think I would want to clip an iPod onto my shorts and have the cables getting in the way, electronic earbuds in my ears, etc. Thanks for your comment.
