00:00Running gives us freedom, energy, and peace of mind, but when the weather turns extreme, blazing heat or biting cold, how do we keep moving safely without overdoing it?
00:11As we age, our bodies become more sensitive to temperature swings.
00:16That doesn't mean we stop, it means we get wiser.
00:21Running smart helps us protect our heart, joints, and overall well-being.
00:25Listen to your body before the weather decides for you.
00:31In the heat, the key word is hydration.
00:34Drink before you run, not just after.
00:38Choose light, breathable clothing and avoid running between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is strongest.
00:46Take shorter intervals, rest in the shade, and cool your wrists or neck when you start to feel too warm.
00:52Sweat smart, not too hard.
00:55When it's cold, warming up is everything.
00:59Start indoors, a few minutes of dynamic stretching to wake up your muscles.
01:05Dress in layers that you can peel off.
01:08Moisture wicking base, insulating middle, and wind-resistant outer shell.
01:14Protect hands, ears, and nose, they lose heat fast.
01:18If you feel slightly cool when starting, you're dressed right.
01:24Running isn't just physical, it's emotional therapy.
01:28When you care for your body, your mind follows.
01:32Each step in any weather builds confidence, calm, and gratitude.
01:36Your pace, your season, your strength.
01:43Cool down slowly, hydrate again, and take care of your joints.
01:47A few minutes of stretching helps your muscles recover and keeps you feeling great for the next run.
01:55A gentle end makes for a stronger next beginning.
02:00Running in hot or cold weather doesn't have to be tough, it just takes a little wisdom and care.
02:05Stay safe, stay joyful, and remember, every run is a gift.
