Running Sock

If you are a runner outdoors you've probably noticed that the weather can dictate how you feel well during your race. You may be surprised to learn that your performance during a race or race is directly linked to the weather. The "perfect running temperature" has been scientifically debated to be around 50-54 degrees! Most people begin to slow down after 55 degrees and can really "strike the wall "if the temperature rises above 65 degrees while running.
For people who live in states chronically warmer as we are in Houston, TX, it is essential to try to get your runs is in the early morning or late evening to avoid the heat of the day. However, if you're stuck running in hot weather, there are a couple things to keep in mind. First, warmer it is more your body must work to cool by producing sweat. Sweating takes energy, causing you to tire more quickly and lose more fluids and electrolytes quickly, it is essential to replenish your fluid levels during and after the series. Increased heat also causes your feet to become wetter in your shoes can cause blisters. Make sure that on hot days you can take it the extra moisture wicking socks to prevent your feet from blisters.
Besides temperature, another weather factor that can affect your performance is the rain. How rain impacts on the performance really depends on the amount of rain. If there is a slight drizzle coming down on you while you run then the effect cooling water on your body can actually help improve your performance. If the precipitation is more extreme, leading to conditions where you are getting totally soaked, then your performance will be hindered for two reasons. First, your performance suffers during heavy rains because, consciously or not, you are more careful to avoid slipping on the wet surface you run on. In addition, heavy rains can get your clothes so wet that you can develop blisters very quickly, which can become painful. Some of the most common bulb to develop the rain your feet, between your thighs and bra sport around a woman.
Although Mother Nature is not good enough to provide 53 degrees cloud running every day, there are ways to ensure that your race goes as smoothly as possible for the conditions that you face during the race. The best way ensure that the temperature did not impact negatively on your performance is to plan and anticipate all the obstacles that The Weather May provide.
