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, during, and after your run. Ease your pace. Your body works harder to cool itself in the heat.
- ·UV index 3: SPF 30+ recommended for runs over 30 min

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.
Stop guessing. Start running. Get a personalized recommendation tuned to how you run, plus proactive alerts before your best window, right on your phone.
