By now you'll have probably seen many discussions here about how using personal music players whilst training/racing is either terrible and should result in instant disqualification/defenestration/incarceration or that it's actually absolutely fine. Whilst I have my own opinion on the matter, the more experienced amongst you will have kept as wide a berth as I have from such discussions. Expressing an opinion about this is a mistake that you only make once! Anyway, here's the thing. Bone conduction headphones. I don't think this is especially new technology, but I've not seen it marketed before. Have a read of the article (which is on a cycling blog, but it's equally relevant to running), but the key thing is that the headphones "allow users to hear their music clearly while still being aware of their surroundings".

I dunno. But I do fancy some for swimming as my "waterproof" MP3 player sadly fails on one of the two main selling points...

I'm not sure it really qualified as a sentence. An interjection perhaps?
