5 Tips for Getting Back to Running in Spring

The weather invites you to run. Are you starting again after a long winter break? Then check out our recommendations.

Start Slowly

Don’t try to catch up at all costs! Your body needs to get used to running again, so you can’t start where you left off in the fall. It’s not a bad idea to first include Indian running and then start running. Gradually increase the distances and begin at a slow pace.

Don’t Overdo It

As we mentioned, your body needs to adjust, so don’t run every day at the beginning. Take 1–2 days off between workouts to allow your body to recover. Rest can also be active; swimming is an excellent option.

Dress Appropriately

When you’re unsure what to wear, dress as if it’s ten degrees warmer. At first, wear a jacket and gloves, and remove them as temperatures rise. A great option for spring running is a thin windbreaker that protects against wind and drizzle, wicks away sweat, and is breathable.

Stay Hydrated

Even when temperatures are just right, you will sweat during exercise. Therefore, pay attention to adequate hydration, which can also help with sports performance. Great options are isotonic drinks or after training, an excellent drink is Regener, which will help you feel less tired and reduce muscle soreness.

Apply Sunscreen

The spring sun is strong and intense. If you’re outside for a long time, don’t forget to apply protective sunscreen that will save your ears, face, and nose. Sunglasses are also very suitable; we wear photochromatic ones that darken according to the intensity of the light.
