Life doesn’t always go to plan, and we may stumble on our journey. Depending on the magnitude of the fall, we may need to allow ourselves time to heal and recover.

Be kind to yourself and have faith that you will get back up again.

Running in the Sun: Top Ten Tips for Keeping your Cool

Summer is upon us, the skies are blue and temperatures are soaring. It’s a wonderful time of the year to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. However, some runners may not agree. The heat can make even the fittest of athletes struggle. When running in this weather, the most important thing is to stay safe. Here are our top 10 tips to keep your cool:

1. Wear sunscreen. With the sun this strong it is absolutely vital that you wear sun cream. The sun’s UV rays can damage our skin, causing sunburn, skin aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer. Wear a cream with a high SPF and one which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Make sure you apply the cream before you head out: most creams should be applied 30 minutes before any sun exposure, and they need to be re-applied every two hours

2. Wear suitable clothing. Aim to wear loose fitting sportswear in light colours. Go for technical fabrics which are lightweight, breathable and which wick sweat.

3. Hydrate and consider electrolytes. When you run in the heat you sweat. A lot. It is incredibly important that you stay adequately hydrated. Prepare yourself for your run by ensuring you’ve taken enough fluid on board before you leave the house and continue to hydrate as you exercise. When you sweat, you lose salts as well as water. It can be helpful to add electrolytes to your drink to replace some of this loss. There are many sports electrolytes tablets available – try a few and see which works for you.

4. Change your route. Use the Summer to try out trail running – if you opt for forest runs there’ll be some shade offered by the trees, and it may be cooler than running along an exposed path. If you don’t fancy the trails, try and choose routes which offer some protection from the sun.

5. Use a gym. If the heat really is too much, head to an air-conditioned gym. Use it as an opportunity to practice interval or hill training on a treadmill.

6. Slow your pace and run for shorter times. In the Summer there is the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. You mustn’t risk making yourself unwell. Be prepared to take your pace right down and to run for shorter time periods. Don’t aim for any PBs or intense training workouts. Keep it slow and steady and stay safe.

7. Run early in the morning or in the evening. If at all possible, try and avoid the midday sun. Aim to run before 10am or after 4pm when it will be cooler.

8. Keep cool as you run. There are several things you can try to keep cool as you run – hold your water bottle against the back of your neck, splash water on your head, or use a spritzer bottle to spray your face with water. Some runners like to go out with wet hair so that there is a cooling effect as the water evaporates.

9. Be aware. It’s a good idea to be aware of what symptoms you might experience if you’re overheating. Things to look out for include feeling faint/ lightheaded/ dizzy/ nauseous, vomiting, palpitations, heavy sweating or lack of sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, cramps in arms/ legs/ stomach, tiredness, weakness, headache, skin cool and moist/ clammy, rapid and shallow breathing, irritability, confusion, intense thirst. If you have any of these, you should stop running immediately and seek medical help.

10. Run with a buddy. Running with a buddy is always fun. It can be helpful to run with a friend in the Summer so that you can look out for each other and make sure you’re both safe. If you prefer to run solo, make sure you tell someone what route you’ll be doing and when to expect you back, so they know if any problems have arisen.

🧡🧡 Learn to say no, don’t take on too much and set your own boundaries 🧡🧡

Our time is precious and time is limited. If we take on too much, we can end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed, and not doing anything well. Before agreeing to do anything, it can be useful to ask yourself three questions:

a. Will I enjoy this/ will it make me happy?
b. Will it be beneficial?
c. Can I do it without it causing unnecessary stress?

There are some things in life that we have to do and we have no choice in the matter. However, there are other activities, tasks, projects or events where you do have a choice. Sometimes these can be fun and interesting, but if doing them means that you’re putting yourself under excess pressure, then think twice before you agree.

It’s important to learn to say ‘no’ without feeling the need to justify your reasons. It can be helpful to practise using phrases such as ‘thank you for the opportunity but I won’t get involved at this point in time’. That then leaves the door open if you change your mind in
the future. Once people understand the boundaries you set, they are less likely to try and push you into doing things you don’t want to do.

** Self Affirmation **

Self affirmations are positive statements that can help to improve your confidence and self-esteem, enhance motivation and encourage a positive outlook on life.

Some people choose a different affirmation each day, others prefer to keep one for a week. It can be incredibly beneficial if you read the statement out loud every morning, then reflect on it throughout the day. Affirmations can be even more powerful if you explore them in a bit more detail, for example, if you have the affirmation 'I am proud of myself', think about all the things you have achieved that make you proud.

We have packs of cards for £7, with 10% of any profits being donated to Barnardo's. If you'd like a pack, let us know!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Energise Health! We are here to help support you to make evidence-based lifestyle choices which will have a huge and positive impact on your physical and mental wellbeing.

Good health is not merely the absence of disease. It describes a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing which allows an individual to thrive and achieve their full potential.

Health is determined by a complex interaction of genetic, environmental and socioeconomic factors. This interaction begins at the moment of conception and continues throughout life, influenced by broader constructs such as political and cultural norms. Good health is a basic human right.

At Energise Health we use a biopsychosocial approach to optimising our client’s health and wellbeing, through our unique ENERGISE plan®, which explores:

Exercise and Movement

Nutrition

Environment

Relationships and Social Connections

Goal Setting

Ideas and Mindset

Sleep

Empowerment

Our aim is to help you to feel healthier, fitter and happier and to provide the tools and knowledge to support you on your journey to positive wellbeing. Lifestyle modifications and behavioural changes do not need to be complicated, time consuming or expensive. Significant health gains can be achieved through simple measures such as being physically active and minimising time spent sitting, eating a healthy and balanced diet, having a positive mindset and maintaining social relationships. We would love to be a part of your lifestyle evolution.
