Spring is a long-awaited time for all joggers. When, finally, the snow melts and you can run on dry asphalt. However, there is a period that lasts differently in different regions of our country. During this period, on the streets of the city, the snow, which begins to actively melt, turns into a dirty mess, which is difficult to walk on, not just running. In this article, we'll look at how best to run and dress in the spring when running in the mud.
Where to run in spring
It is clear that dirt is everywhere, but there are places where it is too much, and where it is still less. Therefore, in spring it is best to run along the central streets, where sidewalks are cleaned much more often, and therefore there is much less mud and puddles.
It goes without saying that running along the motorway is not the best idea. Besides that breathe carbon monoxide is very hard, and every second car threatens to be doused from head to toe.
But, unfortunately, not every city has an alternative place. Where can you runwithout fear of going knee-deep into the water. In big cities, parks are well cleaned, but, firstly, parks are usually not too large, and not everyone wants to run circles. And secondly, there are a lot of people in the parks, and if you don't get dirty yourself, you will definitely get others dirty.
How to run in spring
There are no peculiarities in terms of running technique. Except don't try to run only on forefoot... The roads are still slippery. Best to run rolling from heel to toe... For more information on how to place your foot while running, read the article:
Do not risk jumping over puddles, because ice may appear under the water, jumping onto which you will immediately find yourself lying in the same puddle. Better to just choose more or less dry areas. It's easier to run around than to jump over.
Also, remember that every step you take will sprinkle the dirt you step on. Therefore, try to slow down before running past passers-by so as not to shower them with mud and not hear many flattering words about yourself.
How to dress for running in spring
The ideal clothing option is a Bologna waterproof windbreaker and the same sweatpants. Even if someone sprinkles you, it will be easy to wash it off from the bologna fabric, and it will not get wet.
In terms of shoes, first, run in closed-toed sneakers that are not made of mesh. Secondly, if possible, put plastic bags on your feet before putting on your sneaker. This will save your feet from getting wet.
Of course, in such bags your feet sweat and you will come running home with wet feet anyway. But there is a big difference between getting your feet wet from cold, dirty water and from your own sweat.
In no case do not run in rag sneakers in this weather, otherwise your feet will get wet at the very beginning of the run and there is an opportunity to chill them.
The basic rule applies here - don't try to run around puddles, but you will still be wet.
