Running in autumn without fear

While in summer we are left to sweat at the thought of running, now cooler temperatures will favor ease of breathing and help us to suffer less muscle fatigue. Here are four simple tips that will help you keep training and do not find yourself unprepared for the changing of the season.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 1. do not fear the cold

The change of season brings with it a wide temperature range, okay to wear more layers of clothing specifically, but do not overdo it in wearing too many clothes between one layer and another. During the autumn often see runners in winter clothing with long pants, windproof reflective jackets and scarves. This is wrong because it is not yet time to thermal jackets and cotton is to be avoided as it absorbs sweat and cools quickly. In autumn you can safely run around in T-shirt and shorts. A rough indicator to understand how to dress consists in ‘to add to the outside temperature about ten degrees higher. So if the thermometer indicates 8th, dressed as if outside there were 18 ° because this will be the temperature perceived by you, you have to allow your body to cool transpiring.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 2. Protect yourself from the water

There are a few rules to follow to run even with the rain, though one is indispensable: the feet are dry, the better! We must try to keep dry the lower body, especially the feet.  It would be best to wear a windproof jacket waterproof, but breathable and protect the friction zones because soaked clothes are heavier and cause irritation. When there is wet, be careful not to run on the white lines of the road, they are dangerous because they become slippery. If it does not rain, but there is moisture, try to keep dry soles on a rough surface. If it rains, and you are now soaking wet, there is little to do, you just have to look on the bright and funny side of things: the puddles are all for us!

 

Running in autumn without fear: 3. Show yourself!

In autumn the days get shorter and you’ll get out of the house at dusk. Better to run during the day in the sunshine, but if not possible, armed with front light. Two useful devices consist in planning well-lit paths and being always cautious. However, if your itinerary does not include lighted sections, it is advisable to use high-visibility clothing or strips of reflective material and reflective, like mesh reflective technique. If you run on trails or in wooded areas, be sure to wear bright colors and well visible.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 4. do not neglect heating

With the temperatures a bit ‘lower, warm up well the muscles become not only important but essential. The more the temperature drops, the more it becomes absolutely essential to warm up before training real. A warming well made us makes it possible to train better, to go faster and increase our resistance. Do not overdo it right away, we have to allow time for our legs to get up to temperature, so that the quadriceps and calves do not risk tearing or stretching it too cold. Ideally, it should always start with a few minutes of running before you walk 2 or 3 km jogging.

 

Running in autumn without fear: 5. Drink frequently

Most sports are aware of the importance of hydration only during the summer months, when thirst becomes more hear. When the weather starts to get colder, though, it’s easy to forget to maintain the right levels of hydration during exercise because you start to sweat less. It ‘true that during the cooler months the need for hydration may actually decrease, but it is important, indeed crucial, make sure you are properly hydrated before, during and after each workout. Return the most important rule of all: never forget to drink. It’s important that like the safety vest keep you safety when running.

The new reflective jacket for winter

There are weather conditions that can affect our cycling trips throughout the year: wind, rain and cold are not always the prerogative of the autumn and winter period. It happens in fact to meet adverse conditions during a ride in the Alps in summer rainfall and deal with temperatures below 10 ° C is not easy with a traditional cape. North wave has recently marketed the ExtremeH2O jacket and hardly another name might be more correct. It is a reflective jacket that protects against cold, wind and water by offering the rider a perfect fit that enhances its aerodynamic capabilities.

 

To all this is you have to add the transpiration, important skill to regulate its own temperature. Unlikely these parameters are able to coexist in the same product, difficulty circumvented by North wave with the technological H2O Flex membrane. It is a membrane Super stretch inserted in the main three-layer fabric in a position to accommodate the maximum freedom of movement in the saddle. The declared value of water resistance is the usual 10,000mm but I assure you that the sealing of this jacket is excellent in every sense. I have no doubt to add it to the best proven leaders in 2016 and we are confident it will be a “must have” for 2017.

 

The cut is snug and tight just like to be a mesh midseason, but here we are in the presence of a jacket that can protect you from 18 ° C to 5 ° C without blinking.

The shape of the neck, sleeves and “skirt” Para sketches is the confirmation of what the concept Bitmap North wave evolved. The zip YKK waterproof and reflective fabric inserts inserted as graphics and along the edges of the tail and the back pockets perfected a head which proves excellent already at the table. Inside of life is a silicone band to keep it in place well head. The three rear pockets are comfortable and tight enough to carry around the need for a long output. This jacket is present in the list even in the version with short sleeves to confirm what the same North wave Extreme H2O see in a race garment in effect. As for the coloring, in addition to all-black version also a yellow fluorescent, ideal to keep always visible.

 

On the road there are a number of good reasons to buy Extreme H2O and make it a versatile jacket to keep always available. The tested with the strong wind, heavy rain and even with temperatures close to 5-7 ° C, to accompany an intimate mesh at both short and long sleeves, always with very good sensations.

 

The panels with which it is made are very elastic and ensures great freedom of movement then you will get the typical protection of a jacket with the thickness of a slightly sweatshirt mesh for a unique versatility just like the PRO wish. Wear it now defying the rain or try to replace the winter jacket with reflective tape to address the outputs with variable climate. If you have already planned a few days of cycling in the mountains for the next year, take it with you, it will be ideal to tackle long descents and the unpredictability of these atmospheric landscapes. The verdict is simple, the quality / price ratio, the Extreme H2O Jacket is undoubtedly one of the best products available.

Pedestrian need to wear safety vest on Street with no sidewalk

If a road is missing the sidewalk on which side of the pedestrian must wear safety vest and walk to comply with the rules? If the road was without a walk according to the rules of the road the pedestrian which side has to walk in order to demand compensation for damages in case the car would invest?

 

On the way not only the cars must comply with the rules but also pedestrians and when the sidewalk is missing, especially if the road is two-way traffic, pedestrians must respect the rules of conduct to prevent contributory negligence in the case of investment.

 

Missing the sidewalk on which side of the pedestrian walking?

The pedestrian must walk on the left side of the roadway or that contrary to the movement of the car in case of two-way street. If the road, however, is one way pedestrians will have to proceed along the right shore. In any case, the rule is that, if it is the time between sunset and sunrise, the reflective jacket must be worn.

 

Investment Responsibility

To clarify responsibility for any investment of a pedestrian on the sidewalk no way is the Court of Turin with a judgment which states that if the pedestrian walking in the same direction that the car’s traveling invests no reflective clothing is not entitled to compensation damage. In this case, the driver cannot be held responsible investment because the pedestrian, not respecting the rules, contributed to the accident fault.

Stab safety vest for people

The Hague city carrier HTM begins with a test in which employees are equipped with plug-proof vests. Currently wearing ten inspectors such safety vest, but decided in March that all inspectors get one.

 

HTM wants to protect its employees from becoming the violence that is increasing more grotesque forms.

Yet there are not only proponents of the initiative, the safety coordinator acknowledges in AD. “We want to give our people a cannonball security,” he says with wearing safety clothing. “It may not be true that an auditor suddenly feel a kind man of steel, someone who imagines himself invulnerable.”

 

Possibly the stab vest will soon be required to risky days and times, such as weekends, “when the drink is the man.” On other days, the safety reflective vest can be worn “voluntary”.

Safety vest increased safety in the warehouse

Of course, safe work begins and ends with the forklift. What measures we take, even with the safest truck in the safest warehouse continues to make it possible accidents. Nevertheless, technical aids can indeed contribute to increasing safety. In this section we put five tools for you below. Part two will follow another five.

 

Show yourself

A pedestrian involved in four out of ten truck accidents. The problem is that often leaves much to be desired visibility of pedestrians. That is certainly true of men in gray suits who are another unknown in the warehouse. A simple and inexpensive measure is attracting a fluorescent safety vest, so pedestrians are often visible from a great distance. For fixed warehouse employees is workwear in bright signal colors, may be provided with reflective strips, a good alternative.

 

Look in the mirror

Fluorescent vests help obviously not as pedestrian conceals packed pallet racks or other obstacles. In that case on unclear points is a godsend. With it is possible from every direction of travel and the left or right at any distance in order to look at the corner of a rack. Also help here fluorescent vests and signal colors to quickly identify approaching pedestrians in the small mirror.

 

Warn with light signals

Reversing visibility remains a problem. A forklift driver looking over his right shoulder will see pedestrians and other traffic from the left rather well arrive. This is different to traffic from the right derived from the viewpoint of the driver from a ‘blind spot’. Therefore let trucks beep when they are put in the ‘backward’. A popular alternative is an LED lamp on the cage – with names like blue spot or floor spot – during reversing a typically blue light projected on the floor. Pedestrians who cannot see the truck itself even be warned by the usually fast approaching next light spot.

 

Watching with cameras

Another problem remains the view from a great height. Who with a truck has ever put away a pallet at eleven meters, knows the problem. Try this situation from the driver’s seat once again to estimate the height. If it is not possible to accurately position the forks, it is likely that the pallet falls down. A camera on the fork combined with a monitor in the cab offers the driver a view that he needs to pick or put away pallets at height.

 

Throw blockages

Cargo can fall as drivers in reflective vest try to place a pallet at locations that are not big enough. Think for example of which pair of locations on the upper girders of pallet racks which are less high because of pipes, roof trusses or ventilation grilles than surrounding locations. In warehouses in which drivers are controlled by a warehouse management system, it is possible to block these locations with the software. That means that no driver ever is instructed to place a pallet. If it is going too far, the WMS can be tuned such that upon impact of activity is taken into account, the height of the pallet and of the storage.

Safety vest avoid accidents of Indiscipline cyclists

Deviations cyclists without safety vest accounted for the third question that led to serious traffic accidents amid which occurred 634 accidents (10.18% of total accidents) resulting in the death of 86 people and seriously injuring other 553.

 

Thus, 6 and 7 October, the Romanian Police acted on roads across the country to combat indiscipline cyclists. Traffic controls have resulted in implementation of 11 317 sanctions for breaching the provisions on public roads, of which 2,808 for offenses committed by cyclists, pedestrians committed 727, 526 and 31 committed carters.

 

To travel safely in traffic, the Romanian Police in reflective jacket reminds cyclists that on a public bicycle must be equipped with braking device effective means audible warning light white or yellow face, red light backwards and the least one reflector and bike before entering roadways priority must be given priority reduced speed and pass other drivers. “The change of direction, even if priority crossing make sure other road users understand the intention! Ride as close to the right edge of the road! Port helmet and reflective vest is a recommendation that can save lives “, said representatives of the Romanian Police.

Reflective vests reduce the risk of traffic accidents

Entry to the school for each child is a big life change. However, brings many positive changes, such as new friendships, new knowledge and skills. Not only stay in school but also to the way it can be difficult for a child. Therefore, we should prevent all risks, including conflicts of a child by a moving vehicle.

 

Many of the accidents occur in poor visibility, easy way to protect the child in this case is the use of reflective elements such as reflective vests, belts and other materials that can be attached to clothing, shoes and school bag. These materials allow the driver to register the pedestrian at a distance up to 200 m, while the walker dressed in dark clothing is seen at a distance of 18 m and in light clothing at a distance of 55 meters.

 

“Because all of us to lives and health of our children depends receive from us all Prague first graders reflective vest, which will guide and protect you during journeys to school,” said Deputy Mayor that the lives and health of our children, are the most valuable and most important what we have. Therefore, it is in all our interests to protect them at all times.

 

The main town in Prague this year, we have prepared for all first-graders in Prague reflective safety vests. Distribution to individual schools provides municipal police officers.

Police finished testing new reflective uniforms

Officers finished testing new reflective uniforms and other equipment components. On most lists of police equipment tender, and next year will begin a gradual replacement of equipment. Change still passes through the shirt and skirt, which will be tested again. All police officers should have uniforms exchanged by the end of 2019. In the police serve roughly 40,000 men and women. Exchange of police uniforms, according to previous information had come out to about 130 million.

 

New uniforms and garment in recent months, police tried in the Central Bohemian and Moravian-Silesian region and at the police headquarters. ČTK was informed the Police Presidium spokeswoman Ivan Nguyen.

 

The change probably will undergo shirt and skirt,” said Nguyen.

A current clothes policeman has been criticized. Police officers in the field often complain need to trousers. New summer pants spokeswoman meet expectations officers still must evaluate the technical properties of the material from which they are made.

 

Officers in the field, for example, get a jacket for the winter and summer, reflective vests with pockets, caps, emergency overalls, gloves that will not stab, and unified sunglasses. Some components of the kit abolished altogether, like women’s hats. Changes also will undergo uniforms, which dominates the color dark blue to black color. The recently have red border and are tailored to measure.

 

Part of the changes is a new form ranks. In the officer ranks current silver octagonal star replaces a five-pointed gold star. In the lower ranks tricuspid it will be a silver star. The inspiration for some parts of the new equipment was clothes police officers in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands.

 

The greatest variation police uniforms took place in the early 90s. At that time, the current police wear green uniforms made by reflective material replaced the original that police remain after the then National Security Corps.

Mandatory reflective elements for pedestrians

The amendment will become effective probably in the spring, says Transport Minister Dan at the start of a campaign to increase pedestrian safety. Reflective tape of safety vest will give out and the police. It promises that even after the introduction of new obligations will be people rather than negotiate is fine.

 

Pedestrians will probably not be required to wear on roads in poor visibility reflective elements since January 2016 as proposed by the Ministry of Transport. “It could start paying roughly the spring,” he expects Minister Dan. Amendment of the traffic on the roads, which contains the news, namely awaiting third reading in the House, then it still will be considered by the Senate and must be signed by the president.

 

Ministry or its BESIP organization today launched a campaign to improve pedestrian safety on the roads at night and low visibility. They include TV clips actor Zeneca vice, in which the treated pedestrians to use reflective elements.

 

“By the end of next year they will be presented in schools and other places half a million,” said the head of Martin BESIP pastor. On the campaign is earmarked about thirty million of loss prevention fund.

 

Around a hundred deaths on Czech roads, according to the Ministry fall on pedestrians and cyclists who were not seen. “When we first went without reflective tape, we had to occasionally jump back from the road; otherwise it would seriously threaten collision with an oncoming vehicle. When we then put the tape driver suddenly started giving signs of a change of direction and was able to even slow down. That’s because of us known much earlier, “says the pastor.

 

Reflective tape will give out and the police. “Novella we while allowing to fine pedestrians without reflective elements fine, but rather we are to make the police pedestrians sharply. In practice, it might look as though a police patrol that the road outside the village at night sees a man without a reflective tape, for him to stop, speaks to him and gives him a tape, “says the chief of traffic police Tomas.

Police handing out reflective vests instead of fines

The basic rules of the road “safety vest – see and be seen,” warned the driver Hoar police during Thursday’s pre-emptive action. This event joined the Police Presidium, in cooperation with the Czech Insurers’ Bureau from 15 November nationwide preventive actions focused on increasing visibility for motorists.

 

Traffic policemen together with the spokesperson of drivers talk on the subject and gave them high visibility vest, which is designed for co events on the road.

 

For example, if a driver for the technical defect or traffic accident rises outside the village on the road, they must always wearing a reflective vest, which is required to be in the vehicle. Ongoing preventive action aims to remind drivers that obligation and also draw attention to the security of the vehicle crew.
