Stay Safe on Your Run
From wearing reflective clothing at night to stretching thoroughly before you begin, there are many things runners should consider in order to avoid injury. Unfortunately, many runners forget about the dangers of overexposure to the sun. In addition to sporting performance sunglasses from DICK'S Sporting Goods, here are some other steps you should take to prevent painful sunburn or worse:
- Wear Sunscreen: Make sure exposed skin is protected by quality sunscreen. Don't forget to reapply if you're on a long run or hike.
- Wear a Hat: A ball cap style hat with a brim will help shade your face.
- Limit Exposure: Hours in the sun add up. If you're going for a long run, give your skin a break when you're done. Avoid sitting out by the pool and soaking in all those extra rays.
