Summer sneaked into our lives while we were busy with other things, and now that the days are suddenly hot, your runs probably look a bit different. Running during summer takes some adjusting as your body has to work extra hard to cool down. Here’s what you can do to make the situation more comfortable.
Light Clothes
A sports bra is just fine for a summer run. The fewer clothes you have on, the better. And whatever you do, don’t put on a black outfit as it will only make you heat up more. Light colors and loose materials are the way to go.
Warm-Up
It’s always important to warm up before a run, but even more when it’s hot. Start slowly and increase the heart rate gradually to prevent overheating.
Avoid the hottest period of the day; yes, that’s actually the whole day, but you should really be careful. It’s best to run early in the morning or before sunset, as it’s not as hot.
