DID YOU KNOW

Use a broad spectrum sunscreen and wear a hat and/or sunglasses on sunny days.

Avoid running in extreme temperatures.

Avoid running on days declared to be high pollution days.

Avoid slippery surfaces as injuries can more easily occur during wet or cold weather.

Take a day off from running as part of your regular regimen. A guilt free day off is sometimes necessary to keep you going.
