bad for your health? used to do a lot of outdoor track/trail running back in the states in a fairly pro-environment area. not quite sure how seoul adds up re: pollution. is it healthy to run outdoors?

on a side note, do those health masks help at all? they look pretty cosmetic to me.

It's probably not going to be any more or less harmful than living there in the first place Rolling Eyes

You are basically breathing the same air indoors as out, perhaps minus a little of the yellow dust so it probably makes no difference. If you are really worried, go to Jeju or something.

yellow dust is a big factor though, so be careful. if your gym is good then it will have an air purifier in it.

i beg differ about air quality inside being the same. it's much better inside. if you run by the river, you are right next to the olympic highway, i don't think it's that good for you.
