As spring brings longer days and warmer temperatures, runners need to adjust their routines and safety practices. Transitioning from winter to spring running requires attention to hydration, sun protection, and route planning.
Experts recommend gradually acclimating to warmer temperatures over seven to fourteen days rather than pushing through intense efforts immediately. Wearing moisture-wicking fabrics and applying sunscreen become essential as UV exposure increases.
Runners should also be aware of increased pedestrian and cyclist traffic on popular paths and trails.
