Tips for running nude…and other stuff

Well…what are the tips for running nude?  Before we get to that, here are some tips for running from a source that knows a thing or two about running, Florida Running:

running_crampsCramps.  While it may not be the absolute worst thing that can afflict a runner during a race, getting a cramp does ‘put a cramp in the running’ (pun intented).  Inadequate hydration and excessive heat…these are often trotted out as primary causes of cramping.  And they may contribute but as is often the case, it depends.  Here’s an article that describes two types of cramping…and how to deal with them:  How to manage cramps.

sweating_womanPerformance Clothing.  Are these ‘hi-tech’ undies, tops and bottoms really work for non-elite runners?  It used to be just wicking sweat away but now we’ve got fabrics that promise to minimize sweat odour and protect runners from the sun:  Performance wear for sweat and sun.

 

nude_runningNude Running.  Is that really a ‘thing’?  The answer is yes!  Nude running is definitely a warm weather activity and not advisable in sub-zero temperatures.  It may never catch on like barefoot or minimalist running did for a time…and it likely will never make it to the mainstream for obvious reasons.  But if you do take up nude running, use sunscreen! Tips for nude running.

Until next time…
