* Check the temperature and humidity before you run. Knowing what to expect can help you adjust your pace. Remember that humidity has a big impact on your ability to cool off.
* Run in the cooler parts of the day. Early morning and later in the evening work well, late afternoon is often the worst.
* Stay Hydrated. The entry on [[Practical Hydration]] covers hydration and electrolytes. Remember that electrolytes are as important as water for staying hydrated. [[Hyponatremia ]] can kill!
* Cold drinks can also help lower your body temperature, but don't drink too much without electrolytes (see above tip on hydration)
* Wear white. It may not be your favorite color, but it is the coolest.
