Just for a few seconds. I have done this a few times and for some reason it feels great. I wish I could run for long distances with my eyes closed, but I know it's not safe. It seems like it's a close to flying as one can get. What do you think?

I feel the same way.
I have done before but as you mentioned, it's not safe. But when I run a familiar course an there's some straights on it or maybe sometimes on the track I close my eyes and run. It feels great! I think it's something everyone feels, especially if you like running. You not only get away from all the stress from your job etc, but also you are enjoying your run and getting away from the competitive nature of running as well. That's what I think anyways.

Yes I have and it does feel great. I don't know why but it does. You can find an open field and time your run from one side to the other and cut off about 10 seconds and have the feeling for longer. But some things are better in small doses, as I expect this would be.

lol i have too and only few a second. I think it's just the idea that what you are doing is dangerous but you still have some kind of control that gives you the feeling of flying.

OH MY GOD, finally someone agrees with me my wish since I was younger has always been to be able to fly and the closest i have ever gotten was running with my eyes closed I love the way it feels

Closing your eyes throws off your equalibrium within your body and almost gives your body a feeling of euphoria or that "flying feeling". It's perfectly harmless, unless you run into something.

No but I have ran backwards just to turn around and run into the back of a parked van. It hurt alot. But running backwards was fun.

yea i did that once and it is fun. but don't do this in the morning cause you will fall a sleep. Maybe you could have a friend with u to watch out for u so u don't run into poles.

Hell yeah like we should get a big long string and follow a nice trail so that blind people AND people who like to run with their eyes closed can enjoy.

running in a empty space is what i do so i don't run into anything it really helps too you can run a distance and it isnot as hard open your eyes once and a while to know where you are
