I am often asked: when is the best time of the day to go for a run to beat the heat? People often go for a run in the afternoon, but did you know it’s the hottest weather of the day? If you want to beat that summer heat, there are more comfortable times during the day.

When you decide to run on hot, humid days, you might want to avoid going during the hottest time of the day, which is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Although running in the afternoon is better than going in the middle of the day, it is still hotter than in the morning because the sun heats the roads all day long and this heat is very present in afternoon and early evening. So you are much better off going in the morning, ideally before sunrise if possible. If you are not comfortable running in the dark or with little light, during sunrise could be perfect for you, besides, what is more beautiful than sunrise. of the sun while running?
