I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but I struggle with finding places to run. I get anxiety about the safety of a run, if I’m allowed to run somewhere or not, and just general not knowing the course/path.

I currently only run in my neighborhood, which is a 1 mile loop, so I’m starting to get bored with it. But I find myself constantly second guessing with new places to run, and overthink it to the extreme.

Does anybody have any suggestions of how to feel safe and confident running somewhere they haven’t before? Do you scope out the area beforehand or do you just go?
