How can I run in this sultry weather?

Runners may think that early morning or evening, cloudy or rainy days are the best time for running. However, you may have overlooked the air humidity. When you check the weather forecast, you can't just pay attention to the temperature. Extreme heat index must be combined with temperature and relative humidity. Only running in humidity of 40% or below will make you feel comfortable.

In order to avoid danger, you should adjust your running plan according to the humidity value on the training day-determine the intensity and training time.

You can use these methods to cool down.

In terms of equipment, try to choose clothes that are breathable and quick-drying. The more sultry it is, the easier it is to sweat. Quick-drying clothes can avoid clothes wet with sweat from sticking to the body, and can also accelerate the evaporation of sweat and play a role in cooling down.

You can wipe your face and neck with a wet towel or sponge. This method can quickly reduce the body surface temperature, which can be seen in many marathons.

Choose to run against the wind

Wind can accelerate sweat evaporation, control body surface temperature, and make runners feel cooler and more relaxed during running. At least you don't have to worry that you can't keep training because of the sultry weather.
