Best time of the year for fun runs and just training really. It is not too hot yet and you get plenty of sunlight early AM and late PM. No excuses not to get out there and get the job done yet!

Because it is about to get really hot, let’s talk about strategies to allow you to train in the heat.

  1. Wear powdered sunscreen only so it does not block your pores
  2. Wear a cap and sunnies
  3. Wear a light breathable material to run in
  4. Run with a bottle of water that came out of the freezer
  5. Think about loading up on electrolytes before and after
  6. Stop at a water tap if needed and pour water into your cap and on your head
  7. Take Cabot Health Magnesium AM and PM
  8. Add some salt in your food after training in the heat

We have plenty of coaches who can help you with this
