Tips For Running In Hot Weather
HalfCrazyMama.com
Here are tips to help you enjoy your run in hot weather and also keep you safe.
Hydrate
You need to be drinking more water than normal to replace the fluids you lose in hot weather.
Sunscreen
Remember to put sunscreen on your arms and legs, not just your face. Skin cancer on the leg can be common in outdoor runners.
Sunrise Run
Try to beat some of the heat by getting up and starting your run before sunrise.
Running Sunglasses
Invest in a good pair of running sunglasses. They are made to not fog up or slide around.
Chaffing
Chaffing is common in hot weather because of the extra sweat. Apply Vaseline or Body Glide to areas that rub on clothing to avoid it.
Treadmill
Don't be afraid to hit the treadmill when it is just too hot outside. Be safe.
