😎 Summer is quickly approaching and just about everywhere is starting to feel the heat. We want you 😊 happy, 💪healthy, and 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️hopping to go in November, so take these hot weather running tips and .

🌅🌄Run early or later in the day to avoid the sun at its peak

💧Hydrate BEFORE you’re thirsty - then hydrate some more!

🌳Find a shady route and catch the breeze under some trees

⚠️Slow it down and keep in mind that “every 5-degree rise in temperature above 60 degrees can slow your pace by as much as 20 to 30 seconds per mile.” (Runner’s World)

❤️‍🩹Take recovery seriously - after warmer runs, give your body grace and a proper chance to recover through stretching and rest

🥵Know the signs of heat related injuries and listen to your body (& keep an eye on running mates, too!). And remember that if you’ve suffered from a heat injury in the past, your likelihood of a repeat increases so hydrate and stay vigilant!

We want to see happy faces and healthy bodies at the Spa Running Festival - yours especially. 😉➡️ If you’re not signed up yet, get to SpaRunningFest.com.

🇺🇸🕊️ This Memorial Day, we take time to honor and remember all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Thank you to those who gave all.

We would also like to take a moment to recognize the runners who join us each year who are members of Team RWB🦅, a community of veterans, service members, military families, and supporters working together to bring veterans together and build community through physical fitness. As an organization, today Team RWB wraps up their 25 day challenge leading up to Memorial Day to log 1.3 million collective minutes of physical activity to honor the 1.3 million soldiers who gave their lives in service over the last 250 years. ❤️🤍💙 Thank you for honoring their memory and sacrifice.
