Answer 2

The Los Angeles Marathon 2000 Training Clinic has started and it is hot. Of course, it is the middle of summer! And we are in Southern California. However, you can beat the heat and still enjoy your workouts. Here are some simple guidelines to stay cool when you’re on your run or walk.

Run in the early morning hours. Not only is the temperature cooler, the air quality is generally better.

Drink! Drink! Drink! Water, that is. The warm weather will make you perspire even more and that is precious fluid that your muscles need to keep going. Replenish the fluids while you’re running, as well as before and after the run.

Acclimate. Ease into warm weather and acclimate yourself. For the first two weeks of hot weather avoid speed training. Acclimation should be complete in 10 days to two weeks…be patient.

Wear loose, light and comfortable clothing. Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing. Let your body breath!

Stay away from the rays. Apply plenty of sunscreen. You’re working hard to keep your body in shape, so don’t neglect your skin.

Wear a hat. Keep your head covered, but with a light mesh fiber that is breathable. Don’t wear a hat of heavy material.

Pour water on your head. It won’t lower your body’s temperature but it will make you feel better on those hot days.

Start your training run slowly. This will help your lasting power. Do the first mile a couple of minutes slower than your usual pace.

Cool off in a pool. A cool dip in the pool or a cool bath will assist your recovery following a run or walk on a hot day.

Be smart and safe, carry your own water. Run with your own water, even on those shorter homework days. Don’t assume you’ll make it home.

Learn the warning signs of overheating. Heat induced illness is not something you ignore. Know the warning signs and heed them if you find yourself experiencing them: headache or lack of concentration; loss of muscular control; over sweating followed by clammy skin and cessation of sweating; hot and cold flashes, and upset stomach, muscle cramps, vomiting and dizziness.

Reduce your speed. Do speed training in morning or evening hours. The heart actually beats faster in the heat so don’t put any more stress on your system than is necessary.

Adjust your expectations. Heat will affect your speed. You just cannot run or walk faster in the heat, so slow it down. Realize that the environment is a factor in training and in races.

Think before you drink. This is not an ad for designated runners, but rather a reminder that caffeine and alcohol work as diuretics, which means they increase your urine output. These lead to dehydration. Lower your consumption of both of these and you should be able to run and walk a little more comfortably.

Some days are just not made for running or walking. On unbearably hot days throw in the towel and hit the gym or the pool for a little cross-training instead. The roads will still be there tomorrow and the body you save will be your own.

The beast way?
Depends what kind of beast you are!

Dogs stand in streams.
Elephants mudbathe.
Rats sleep during the day.
Chickens sit in the shade.

Hope that helps.
