Running in rainy and windy weather presents its own characteristics and requires certain preparatory steps. An ultramarathon runner and candidate of medical sciences spoke about them Alexander Elkonin in a conversation with Sport Express.

Here are some key tips to consider:

1. Avoid hypothermia. Even at positive temperatures, rain and strong winds can cause significant hypothermia. Maintain constant physical activity to generate heat.
2. Move. It is important not to linger in open areas exposed to strong winds. Try to constantly move to keep your body warm.
3. Choose the right equipment. Wear a membrane jacket that will protect from moisture and wind from the outside, but will still allow evaporation from the inside. Also pay attention to the thick sole of the sneakers for better protection and comfort.
4. Don’t forget your feet. Find a pair of quality socks that will help keep your feet warm and protect them from moisture and cold.

By following these simple recommendations, you can run comfortably and safely even in the worst weather.
