Cut risk on your outdoor run with help from Reed Ferber, Ph.D., who heads the University of Calgary’s running injury clinic, and Linsey Marr, Ph.d., who teachers environmental engineering at Virginia Tech.
1. AIR CONTROL – do not run between noon and 5 p.m., when air is most polluted (and can inflame your airways). Check current conditions at airnow.gov.
2. CORNER TURN – no need to jog in place at a traffic light; your muscles does not cool that fast. Or just turn the corner and go.
3. SPLIT SLOPES – roads are angled, and running on them strains your pelvis. Balance it out: whichever direction you run, double back on the same side of street.
