THE SEASON STARTS HERE
As the sun emerges and temperatures rise, it's the perfect time to lace up those running shoes and hit the track, trail or road for some invigorating Spring runs. Here are some essential tips to maximize your training sessions and stay comfortable as you embrace the warmer weather:
With increased temperatures, staying hydrated becomes crucial. Start hydrating well before your run and carry water with you, whether in a handheld bottle or a hydration vest, to replenish lost fluids along the way. For longer runs, consider incorporating electrolyte drinks to maintain proper hydration levels and prevent fatigue. At YMR Track Club, we have added more pockets to our collection this season for gels etc.
Warmer temperatures can impact your performance, so be prepared to adjust your pace accordingly. Listen to your body and focus on maintaining a comfortable effort level rather than pushing for specific times. Incorporating interval training or fartlek sessions into your routine can help vary your pace and build endurance while adapting to the heat.
Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow for ample ventilation, keeping you cool and dry throughout your run. Our latest Bäckaryd Spring collection has been designed specifically for warm conditions, with the lightest and most breathable fabric we have ever produced. The polyamide material in this collection creates ventilation to enhance your performance.
The new Bäckaryd Singlets, T-Shirts, Shorts & Mid Tights are ideal for maximizing airflow and minimizing overheating.
Take advantage of the Spring weather by incorporating specific training sessions tailored to warmer conditions. Hill training can help build strength and power while challenging your cardiovascular system, and tempo runs can improve your lactate threshold and overall speed. Additionally, long, steady runs in the early morning or evening can acclimatize your body to running in warmer temperatures and improve your heat tolerance over time.
Invest in running accessories like our St. Moritz or Massanella Performance Sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from glare. Also consider wearing a lightweight cap to keep sweat out of your eyes and provide additional sun protection. Compression such as our Bäckaryd Sleeves or Åsunden Compression Socks can aid in muscle recovery and circulation during and after your runs.
