Tips for running in the heat ๐๐ผโ๏ธ
- Fuel and hydrate. Water, electrolytes and proper fueling (gels etc) can help.
- Plan your route in advance. This way you can tactically plan your hydration and refuelling. Routes with laps might be better for this, rather then out and back routes.
- Beat the peak heat by running early before sunrise or after sunset.
- Wear appropriate clothing, breathable lightweight running kit.
- Vaseline is your friend (other brands available). Water proof plasters for ni***es, trust me this is a game changer.
- Be realistic with your targets and donโt put too much pressure on yourself. Keep your easy runs easy, and if doing speed work, focus on quality over quantity.
