Nutrition Tip
Running and the heat

With summer bearing down on us in full force it is important we follow important tips when running or exercising in the heat and humidity.

GO Slow. It is ok to slow down.
Avoid running the hottest part of the day. Choose early morning and late evening when the sun is low.

Run in the shade. Find a trail that is in a wooded area to stay out of direct sun.
Wear a hat and sunscreen.
Drink plenty of water. Drink before, during and after your workout.

If you are training for an upcoming race/run event, begin training out in the hotter weather at least 2 weeks before the event to help get adjusted to the heat.

Listen to your body and use your “noggin”. Don’t ignore signs and symptoms of over heating like dizziness, headache, fatigue and nausea. Get to a cool place quickly!

Running Shoes

Running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 400 miles.
