I am a very busy man. I work long hours and come home late. I want to run but usually it is already dark outside so I skip it. My wife wants to go running anyway and keeps telling me that any run is better than never. But I am reluctant to run in the dark. How safe is running in the dark?
A lot less safe than walking in the dark. You may accidentally run across the bump or a hole in the ground and fall and hurt yourself. This is of course if you are running on such ground. If you are running on the cultivated, flat ground than it is not so bad. On the other hand your wife is absolutely right. Any run is better than no run at all. So if you really dont have any other choice, go and run in the dark.
