Coach tips
- ·Warm rain: skip the shell, it traps heat like a rubber suit, so embrace getting wet in light wicking fabric.
- ·Wet fabric in the heat means chafing, so apply anti-chafe balm and wear a brimmed cap, with no cotton anywhere.
- ·Light colors reflect heat: wear white or light grey if possible
- ·Consider a visor or running cap for sun protection
- ·Hydrate before, during, and after your run. Ease your pace. Your body works harder to cool itself in the heat.

Running in Minneapolis: what the weather does to your run
Minneapolis is a genuine cold-weather running town. Deep winter brings sub-zero feels-like temperatures where covering exposed skin and blocking wind are safety issues, not comfort ones. Summers, by contrast, get warm and humid, so the wardrobe swing across the year is about as wide as it gets in the US.
