One question new runners often have is: What are the best times of day to go running during the summer? Ultimately, you want to choose the coolest part of the day to run during the summer months to reduce the risk of heat cramps and hot temperatures impacting your running performance.3Che Muhamed, A.

Running coaches often recommend trail running when you are faced with a hot summer day. It can be upwards of 10 to 15° cooler in a dense forest and area due to the canopy provided by the trees, which shields you from the sun’s rays. You can also find shady areas on bike paths or tree-lined streets. Staying out of the sun will help keep your core bo...
Make sure to protect your skin from UV rays and sunburn by wearing sunscreen (get a sweatproof, waterproof sunscreen with SPF 30 or more), a visor or running cap, and sunglasses.
Light-colored, moisture-wicking running clothes will help keep you cooler. Breathable synthetic fabrics such as polyester are said to be sweat-wicking, which means they help pull moisture off of your skin and aid evaporation, which can help lower your core body temperature and prevent chafing, blisters, and the discomfort of running in sweaty cloth...
One running tip for summer running that I have incorporated into my own hot weather running routine is to pre-cool my body before I head outside. I don’t have an actual ice vest, though you can buy one, but I will put a large ice pack meant for back pain on my back or stomach for 10 or 15 minutes before heading outside. This helps lower my core bod...
Another great tip for sun protection and keeping cool when running in extreme heat is to soak a bandana in ice water and then freeze it before you go running in the heat. Then, take out the stiff, frozen bandanna when you head out the door and tie it around your neck. It will feel really cold but will eventually melt and mold to your body. It also ...
Hydration is always important, but especially during hot weather running because you are going to lose more fluids from sweat. Don’t rely on being able to get your hydration at water fountains because you never know if the water fountain is out of order or if you need extra fluids earlier on in your run. A good hydration pack or handheld water bott...
Fill your hydration pack or water bottle with ice water or a cold sports drink with electrolytesso that your fluids are more appealing to drink and help cool your core body temperature while you keep your hydration levels up. I often bring one water bottle that has ice water (and drink this first) and one water bottle that is completely frozen with...
Many runners prefer to train by pace, and pay attention to their GPS watch as if every interval and split makes or breaks a run. Running by feel can be a safer option when running in the summer heat. When you run by feel, you listen to your body, respecting its needs while still getting a quality workout.
Make sure to do a thorough cool down to help guide your heart rate back down to resting levels and prevent muscle crampsfrom shocking your system by suddenly jumping in a cold shower. Once you finish your run, do a few minutes of walking to reduce the risk of muscle cramps and to give your body time to stop sweating profusely, and then go inside wh...
