How do you run outdoors during intense heat?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Running outdoors in intense heat requires careful planning to ensure safety and maintain your exercise routine. Start by choosing cooler times of the day, such as early morning or late evening. Wear lightweight, breathable clothing and stay hydrated before, during, and after your run. Listen to your body; if you feel dizzy or overly fatigued, take a break or seek shade. Incorporating these strategies into your routine will help you develop a sustainable habit of exercising outdoors, even in challenging conditions.

I think it’s better ti choose a time when thw heat is low like early morning or evening. Wear sunscreen as it protects you from sunburns. Wear a hat if you can and loose clothes that allow air flow. Carry a water bottle with you ti stay hydrated. Take small breaks in between if necessary.
