#484: Heat, Air Quality, and Runners

Sarah and Tish Hamilton have a conversation with Jennifer Vanos, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor at the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University and a first-time pregnant runner. The climate scientist covers: 

 

-ways to mitigate heat while running; 

-steps to take when your race day forecast calls for hot conditions; 

-what ozone pollution is—and why it’s bad for runners; 

-societal vulnerabilities related to air pollution; and, 

-the effects of “inefficient sweating.”

 

In the intro chitchat, Sarah shares her unexpected emotions on the first day of school in 18+ months for her teen twins. The climate doc joins at 13:00.
