Running in dog days needs to remember these six points:
1- Choose correct run time
Outdoor running: Avoid the time when the temperature is high. The best time is morning and night. Runners who like to run at night, girls are best to go together. Choose places with many people and try not to go to remote places. Remember to pay attention Safety.
2- Dog days are the “golden period for weight loss”

3- It is recommended to focus on aerobic exercise during the dog days
In the dog days, you can’t compare the amount of running and speed, and you can’t exercise too much, otherwise it will affect your health.
4- Pay attention to replenish water and cool down to avoid heatstroke
In summer, the temperature is high, the amount of perspiration is large, and the water loss in the body is very fast. If you do not replenish water in time during running, it will cause dehydration.
Follow the principle of small amount of frequent replenishment.
Before running: drink a small amount of water, take the initiative to replenish water, don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water,
During the run: take small amounts of supplements several times, or you can choose to supplement with electrolyte drinks
After running: don’t replenish water too fast
5- Running gear
The clothing is quick-drying and breathable, and the vest and shorts have good heat dissipation
6- For runners who stay up late or drink alcohol, they must take a break, pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and do not make fun of their bodies.
When running outdoors in the dog days, you must follow your own body sensation and heart rate, be alert to danger signals, do what you can, always pay attention to your physical condition, and be in awe. Letting go of obsessions and enjoying the running process will allow us to run longer and healthier.
