Running socks and other running items that are sweeping Amazon

Every four years (this time there have been five), who more and who less feels that invasion of the Olympic spirit inside their body. Some have settled for watching all the events from the sofa, but others have surely felt the need to imitate the best athletes in the world and exercise. And without a doubt the star sport of this world event is athletics. Although for many of us this urge passes quickly (specifically when the closing ceremony of the Games ends), others continue running in a marathon plan regardless of whether it is hot or cold.

For those who are going to start running, it is convenient to prepare and think carefully about the moment in which the practice is going to begin and how it is going to be done.

As for the schedule, it is important to avoid the central hours of the day. Early risers can take advantage of the early hours of the morning to go for a run. Between seven and ten in the morning, the pleasant sensation provided by fresh air can help improve performance and prevent heat stroke or dehydration.

Those who prefer to disconnect running once the working day is over, it is recommended that, in summer, they never do it before eight in the evening. Even on extremely hot days, it is preferable to wait until the sun goes down completely. The sensation of freshness provided by the morning air will not exist, but there are people who adapt better to intermediate temperatures that move between 30 and 25 degrees.

THE EQUIPMENT

Once the time slot that best suits the needs of each one has been chosen, it is time to go in and look for the perfect equipment for running or doing any physical activity outdoors during the hottest months. Hydration and refrigeration are fundamental, as already indicated above, but it is not the only factor to take into account.

Running, at any time of year, requires a specific type of clothing, footwear and accessories to be able to perform the activity in the best possible way and even to avoid injuries. These are some of the best-selling products for runners on Amazon in recent months:

CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR

First of all it is essential to choose the right clothes. Beyond the brands, the important thing is to wear clothes with which we feel comfortable when doing sports. Wearing the wrong size (whether it is larger or smaller) can cause chafing and irritation that prevent sports practice in the days that follow.

This is even more important when it comes to footwear. In addition to causing the appearance of annoying blisters, shoes that do not adapt to the size and shape of the foot can cause bruises, sprains or even sprains. According to a study by the Spanish Sports Podiatry, the wrong choice in sports shoes is the cause of 50% of injuries.

Asics running shoes for women

And one of the main reasons is the gel patch that it has in the midsole and that cushions the impact of each step much more effectively.
