I always run without music! I love the mindfulness of just being aware of my surroundings!
I guess this would very much depend on where you run, though. I would never run on a treadmill without music or a podcast, and running next to traffic would probably also be bad without listening to something.
It’s strange, when I sync up my gait to the tempo of the music, I don’t feel as tired during the run. It seems to help me keep going without feeling like I’m going to drop.
I feel more like I’m dancing when I run or cycle in time to music, and that makes it seem more like fun than exercise. Same rationale as when I got high as a kite before/during my runs/rides. When I quit smoking weed, I was very worried that I was also going to quit exercising but that turned out not to be the case, fortunately.

I run at the cemetary near my house, its quiet and wooded. The perimeter is a perfect .5 mile loop
