Coach tips
- ·High dew point: the air is muggy and sweat won't evaporate well, so ease your pace and drink more than usual
- ·Light colors reflect heat: wear white or light grey if possible
- ·Consider a visor or running cap for sun protection
- ·Hydrate before and during, and ease your pace, because your body works harder to cool itself in the heat

Running in New York: what the weather does to your run
New York runners get four real seasons: humid, sticky summers that push your feels-like well past the thermometer, and raw, wind-tunnel winters where the chill off the rivers and between buildings bites harder than the forecast suggests. Spring and fall are the prize months for long efforts in the parks.
