Hot, really hot, too hot, hot to death …
In the past weekend, the domestic marathon has been raging again. At this time, the key word-hot!
When the temperature rises to 30°C, you still have to run on the track. Will you be calm? Do you feel good about the experience? Do you think this is a training for you …
During running, the somatosensory temperature will be 10°C higher than the temperature. When the temperature reaches 26°C, your somatosensory temperature will be higher than your body temperature, and you will inevitably feel unwell. If you stay in this environment for a long time, there is a great probability that something will go wrong.
Whether it is Xiamen Horse, which was held every year before, or Hanma, which just returned four years later, as the top domestic events, the heat wave is pressing.
Of course, it’s not just these two games. In the past two weekends, dozens of events in the country were hot in many places. The choice of marathon is that people can conquer nature! No matter how bad the conditions are, if the competition can be held, it will be great, that is, heroes, contestants, do a good job in high temperature protection, are not all safe?
From a "positive" point of view, you can still sharpen your will under high temperature. So, do you still have to thank this horse?
From a rational point of view, the current upsurge of hosting competitions smacks of "retaliatory consumption".
The epidemic has been going on for three years, and many competitions have not been held. Many competitions have been postponed again and again. Finally, after the Spring Festival this year, watching the epidemic go away, holding back the enthusiasm and passion for hosting the games, swept across the country with irresistible momentum.
It doesn’t matter that the economic environment for hosting the competition is far worse than before. After the epidemic, the restoration of urban order and the revitalization of the economy all need a booster, marathon, which was lucky to be selected.
As a result, after the Spring Festival, many events, regardless of the willy-nilly, go! Some people are in a hurry to recover, some have changed their schedules, some have started new horses, and everyone’s desperate enthusiasm has maintained a new round of unreasonable upsurge in domestic marathons.
In my opinion, the first condition for running any horse race is to look at the "weather".
For what kind of temperature is the most comfortable for horse racing, there are many research data abroad in the past. 10°C is often mentioned, and there is also an interval. If it is slightly higher or lower, it will be more comfortable to run.
There is a distance between theory and practice. The climate conditions of each marathon venue are different, but what we should do is to choose the most suitable season for running a marathon in a year, instead of running it whenever we want.
As we all know, under normal circumstances, each game has its own schedule, but it is not necessarily the most suitable, and sometimes there are other considerations of the organizers of the event.
For example, at this node, I need a marathon, as long as it is not absolutely impossible, then do it. However, a high-quality event must be the most suitable time of the year in the city.
This is also relative. Take Shenma as an example, it is usually held in mid-December. It has been very hot and cold, and generally it is still hot. With the climate of Shenzhen, there is nothing better than December.
It is not the best choice, and the temperature is higher than the most comfortable temperature, which is also acceptable. For mass athletes, it doesn’t matter much if they run a little slower.
It is not a reasonable choice just because of the high temperature.
Maybe you will say, who can tell whether it will be hot or cold one day in a few months? Now through big data comparison, it is completely possible to choose a relatively scientific time to run a marathon. As for the occasional hot year, there is a high temperature, which is really helpless.
When an event, in a schedule, appears high temperature continuously, it is necessary to consider whether this time point is inappropriate or not, and whether a new schedule should be re-selected.
If a city runs a marathon, it must not run a race for the sake of running a race. First of all, it must be a "healthy" marathon.
To my regret, many sports events, ignoring these, are rushing to follow the trend, and as for the "weather", it is simply not a matter of concern.
Such a horse has nothing but abuse. This kind of abuse is a great harm to health. The original intention of running a marathon is fitness, deviating from the initial heart and embarking on a road of no return.
The event must face up to the "weather", a good word-of-mouth event, which is the premise. Running a race at a high temperature can only happen by accident. Don’t think that I will go all out to do a good job of cooling down.
When the event encounters high temperature, a desirable solution is to start early, but some events involve live TV and other factors, so it is difficult to operate.
As a runner, you must be highly alert to the high temperature horse. This can not be competitive, but also PB, and you must overcome yourself and finish the race within the range that your body can bear. Even if you retire, there is no problem.
In fact, no matter how full and perfect the cooling measures are, it is difficult to change the experience of high-temperature horses, just to keep them safe. I never believe that anyone who runs a hot horse will feel unfinished.
With the increasing temperature and the arrival of summer, most parts of the country are not suitable for holding races again, and the marathon will also enter an off-season stage. In this free time, some events with hot temperatures can consider their own solutions.
Marathon is not just needed by life and society. What we need is to enjoy running. I hope that in the future, this kind of "artificial" high-temperature horse will be less or even extinct.
When a runner meets a hot horse, it is the main idea to lower his expectations and pay more attention to his own health.
