An expert in restorative medicine at the Roitberg Clinic, Kirill Antonov, shared his advice on the best time of day to go running. According to Antonov, it's preferable to run early in the morning or late in the evening during the summer months. Running during cooler temperatures can help prevent overheating and potential heatstroke. Antonov also recommends wearing lightweight and breathable sportswear that wicks away sweat and allows your skin to breathe. It's important to avoid dark-colored clothing, as it attracts sunlight. If you experience excessive fatigue, dizziness, nausea, or other symptoms of overheating, it is crucial to stop exercising immediately, find shade, and drink water to cool down.
Antonov notes that individuals with cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal issues, joint problems, or lung conditions should consult with a doctor before starting a running routine. "Many people are now realizing the benefits of running, and it's important not to miss out on this opportunity," he adds. Additionally, the expert advises running in parks or wooded areas to reduce the risk of heatstroke.
