I started running 2 weeks ago, I run 2 miles minimum everyday for 5-6 days a week, I listen to music while running and it gives me some kind of adrenaline rush at different points, like when the beat drops etc. Is this a bad thing like being dependent on music for running, I haven't tried running without music and I'm not planning on competing but does it have some health risks like overexertion etc? Also, would love to know your experience with music and running.
I love music while running, old heads say it makes you a wimp but I think it can really enhance your workouts.
I like to listen to mellow pretty sounding music for my easy long days, as to keep my exertion level where it should be, and also to help me enjoy the view and vibe of the run.
On the flip side, when I’m doing a harder workout on the treadmill or solo, I like to pump the rap and EDM music with heavy beat drops and let it pump me up to put in hard efforts.
I've gotten into doing the Ed Goddard Method (playing music out loud from the phone speakers) occasionally and it's fun without compromising your awareness out on the roads. Don't really like the feel of headphones for anything beyond a warmup.

For the longest time I was a purist, thinking music would be detrimental to my running. But when I got a Garmin FR945, which features music playback, I was curious to try it out. Music helps to break the monotony of daily running and at least it makes it more enjoyable.
