Four Warm Weather Running Tips

1. Hydrate before, during and after activity
In summer heat, proper hydration starts before you even lace up. Bring along a handheld, waist pack, or hydration vest to keep fluids close at hand. We carry options from Nathan, Amphipod and other trusted brands—perfect for short runs or long training days.

2. Take electrolytes during and after activity
Replenish what sweat takes away. Electrolyte mixes, chews and capsules help maintain performance and aid recovery. Check out our selection from Nuun, SaltStick and Skratch Labs to find your favorite flavors and formats.

3. Adjust your training schedule if needed
Sometimes the safest choice is to move your run to a cooler part of the day. Morning or evening miles can make a big difference in comfort and safety. We’re happy to help you find reflective gear and running lights so you can train in low-light hours with confidence.

4. Wear moisture-wicking clothing
Cotton holds onto sweat—technical fabrics don’t. Our performance apparel selection keeps you cool, dry and chafe-free on the hottest days. From tops and shorts to lightweight hats, we have everything you need for summer comfort.
