Heatwave running

Posted on | July 9, 2010 |

Stockholm is red hot. It takes some preparations to go out running without wearing yourself out more than you should for just a 5k run. Its amazing to think that we have been out running in -7°C just a few months back, and it even seems simple as you cant really feel your muscles hurt when its cold.

Here are a few helpful hints and tips for the heat running:

• Eat propperly (a well balanced diet) 2 hours before running. A smart bar etc can help to, if your out of time to cook.
• Drink an hour before you go running, as you will sweat out a lot of liquid, you want to have something to sweat, to avoid fatigue.
• Bring some water.
• Slow down if you have to, even stop. But keep going. Once your done, you´ll feel proud of your self.
