Hot summer days are just around the corner, and running is about to become more challenging than ever. If you don’t want to give it up and avoid all the obstacles that running in the summer brings along, here are a few useful tips you should keep in mind.
Right Place, Right Time
The best way to avoid the heat during your runs is to get outside during morning or evening hours when the temperature is at its lowest. It also comes in handy to pick the running trail that offers enough shade.
Know Your Limits
Listening to your body during your runs is more important than ever in the summer. You shouldn’t put too much effort into yourself to run at pace, and take things slow if you feel your body can’t take too much pressure. It’s unrealistic to expect you’ll have the best results of your life when you’re running in adverse conditions.
Proper Hydration
Dehydration is one of the biggest issues you’re facing during your summer runs, but it’s also the easiest to solve. Start each run properly hydrated and carry some bottled water with you, unless you know there are sprinklers on your route.
