Running Safely in Hot Weather:
- If high temperatures are expected to be high, try to plan your workout for early in the morning when temperatures are at their lowest.
- Drink a lot of fluid. Take in at least 6 to 12 oz. of fluid every 15 minutes. If your workout or race is going to last longer than 1 hour, drink a sports drink containing sodium and other electrolytes instead of plain water.
- Wear a hat. A hat with a brim will keep much of the sun off of your head and face.
- Wear sunscreen. Make sure you use a brand that is sweat proof.
- Wear loose fitting, light colored clothing. Light colors will reflect some of the heat. There are a number of high-tech fabrics available that will wick the moisture away from your body and aid in cooling.
- Warm up, rest and cool down in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause a rise in body temperature.
- If you are planning a race in hot weather, try to get in at least two weeks of training in similar weather. This will help acclimate your body to the higher temperatures.
- Check your urine color. If your urine becomes dark, you are dehydrated.
