What you should know when doing running

We return to the running with the material to run, whether it is running safety clothes, sneakers or any other complement that can go well in our outings to make miles. Sports gadgets are great for quantifying our activity and knowing exactly how we evolved along with our training, but if you have to invest in running equipment, make it first in proper clothing, socks and running shoes.

 

There is no universal rule when dressing to run, of course. In reality, you can go jogging with a pair of sneakers and any type of garment, but with time and experience, you will learn to choose some materials over others, namely what to wear on days when time does not accompany and, ultimately, to choose the equipment that best suits you. If you have decided to start with running and you want to have some basics, we will review what you should know about running clothes and shoes. These are the most basic elements for doing sports.

 

The importance of clothes and technical material

Starting at the top, it is normal that at first we go running with the typical old shirt or advertising made in cotton. If you do not want to finish sweat-soaked workouts, it is best to buy technical clothing that is, sportswear in which materials and seams have been taken care of to avoid discomfort. The ‘running’ jerseys are usually made of polyester reflective fabric, are much lighter and offer great perspiration. These technical garments do not work miracles, but they do help a lot to evacuate the heat generated.

 

Likewise, these garments (t-shirts, sweatshirts, windbreakers …) usually have better finished seams to avoid the dreaded scratches and, in some cases, also include reflective elements that are great details to increase our visibility when the light falls – fundamental in this The time of year when night falls so early. If temperatures drop, then better opt for something more warm and allow us to warm up while it keeps us dry. It all depends on how cold it is in our area. I am in favor of not ‘going crazy’ putting on layers because, with the passage of kilometers, it is possible that we mainly.

 

We go to the lower train and the key question comes: mesh or pants? In my opinion, the mesh is the best option, for the comfort and the support it offers, especially if it is a model with some compression. Like t-shirts, trousers and treadmills are made of polyester or advanced fiber fabrics that fit perfectly to the legs, including wide waists and localized ventilation zones. Not everyone feels comfortable in public with a mesh, but they do not want to give up that comfort and freedom of movement. For them, there are on the market ‘running’ textiles that combine mesh and pants in the same garment.

 

An important point about compression meshes is how to wash them so that the fibers do not lose their properties and last longer – this also applies to compression jerseys, stockings, socks or any other compression garment. Generally, the best known brands in this type of textile recommend low temperature washing, if possible by hand or with a delicate program in the washing machine, without softeners. But most important of all is the drying: the compression clothes do not get into the dryer, totally discouraged.

 

Socks and sneakers, vital combination

We come to a key and controversial point, because everyone looks for the perfect running shoe with reflective strips, but the reality is that that model does not exist. We must be clear: we will not find now or in the future a shoe 10, running shoes that fit and are suitable for all runners. Nowadays, the different brands of sports equipment invest a lot in the development and manufacture of sneakers. In the market we find tens-hundred-of different models, and it is very difficult to find a shoe that is bad. However, attention must be paid to personalization, as sneakers that work well for one runner may not be useful for another.

What to wear to run with this cold winter

These tips are, if you are still thinking whether to start running in winter for fear of freezing and for those already runners who become “hermits” every time winter comes. Low temperatures will not be a problem if you know how to carry the right reflective material to keep you warm, safety, dry and comfortable.

 

The comfort level to go to run and in this case, do not freeze, depends on many factors. You can specify some: how fast you are going to run, the level of cold and how long your training will last.

Knowing these three premises is easier to know which equipment to choose, first not to freeze and second to not have to be cursing the heat that you are going to have over coated you and not knowing what to do with all the “layers of onion” you carry. So that this does not happen to you, then to indicate some rules of the game that you must have present to equip yourself of runner this winter.

 

Basic winter running apparel

Protect the limbs: Remember that the limbs are the weak points that must be protected when we go running in winter. The neck, head and hands are the first parts of the body to lose heat.

 

Hot feet: Another tip to take into account is the feet. There is nothing more annoying than having your feet frozen. To keep your feet warm, run with sneakers that have less amount of grid and you will see how the cold does not catch you. Also wear socks that drain moisture, but keep your feet warm.

 

Hot, but not sweating: When you start to run and get warm, your perception will be about 10 degrees higher than the outside temperature, so it is normal that the previous few minutes have a little cold. The first rule is that you wear garments made of technical fabrics to absorb sweat, with zippers on the neck and ventilation in the armpit area. So as you go into warmth you can aerate.

 

Dress in layers: If you are thinking that you are going to feel like an onion, the answer is yes, but in this case you will feel like a light onion. I resorted to the rule of three layers:

The layer 0 and 1: is the reflective garment that will be in contact with your body and its function is to remove sweat from the skin. Use non-absorbent materials, made up of synthetic fibers, if possible without seams.

For women, layer 0 is the sports bra, so it is so important to know how to choose your size and model (remember that for high impact sports such as running you have to wear high fastening bras). Layer 1 is composed of the technical shirt to keep the skin dry. Remember to avoid cotton materials as it retains sweat.

Layer 2 (intermediate): Its function is to isolate thermally. Eye. These garments do not heat us directly, their mission is to retain the heat generated by the body and prevent it from cooling down.

Layer 3: this layer will act as a bump in the inclement weather. Here we talk about windbreakers or cameras.

 

Finally, in addition to knowing what to wear to not get cold in this winter time do not forget that safety is essential. The light is limited in winter and you will most likely run at night. Wear reflective and fluorescent clothes, and do not be shy, nothing happens because you call attention for miles; the important thing is that they see you and run safe. Now, leave home or the gym and check yourself as you do not freeze.

 

 

There will be no going back in use of safety vest

Interior Minister Salazar said today that “there will be no going back” in the application of the rule that makes it compulsory for motorcyclists in the country to wear safety vest and helmets that record the number of their respective vehicles.

 

Although a group of motorcyclists expressed their rejection to the measure yesterday with a seedling in the Field of Mars, Salazar insisted on pointing out that this norm – that will take effect in next May – is public interest and of great importance in the fight against the delinquency. “This rule is going to continue to spread because it is of public interest for citizen security in the face of the events that have been taking place on motorcycles, such as assaults on people, wallets, checkers and even murders,” he said.

 

Noting that the measure constitutes an important security mechanism to be applied the country, the holder of the Interior stated that bearing the number of plaque inscribed on the helmet and vest has given good results in other countries in the region. “In Colombia, for example, everyone has accepted it because it is an issue of interest to all citizens,” he said, indicating that he hopes to be able to meet soon with representatives of motorcycle drivers to explain all the benefits of this mandatory.

 

What does the standard say?

Motorcyclists who as of May, do not list the unit’s running plate and a reflective tape on their helmet or vest, will be fined. In addition, motorcycle drivers who violate this provision will accumulate 20 points in the infraction table, the vehicle will be withheld and the vehicle will be sent to the municipal deposit.

 

In the case of individuals, the helmet will preferably be black; and the orange waistcoat. For Serena go motorcyclists, both the helmet and the vest must be blue, while the police personnel will wear the characteristic green lime vest. The mandatory of these distinctive ones will not apply to the handling of motor taxis, trimesters or quad bikes; But only for those traveling on two-wheeled motorcycles, including their companions, in case two people are transported in the same vehicle.

 

Position of motorcyclists

The day before, a group of motorcyclists, many of them Harley Davidson drivers, congregated in the Field of Mars to hold a protest; and scheduled for the first week of March a new peaceful demonstration in rejection of this measure.

They seek to sensitize the local authorities and thus be able to repeal Supreme Decree 009-2010-MTC, which amended Article 105 of the National Traffic Regulations, requiring that the number of the filing plate be included on his helmet and reflective vest. According to some motorcyclists, this rule violates their rights and creates a climate of insecurity; because they are exposed to unscrupulous people can clone the helmet and vest, commit a criminal act and be responsible.

 

Motorcyclists denounce craters on roads

Motorcyclists are tired of dodging the huge gaps that fill the roads, and represent a serious safety problem even they wear the safety reflective clothing, especially for drivers of two-wheeled vehicles. Therefore, representatives of more than 15 groups of motorcyclists did not rule out reaching the Capitol if the government does not listen to their claims to attend to the poor conditions of the roads.

 

Among the officials who called for dialogue, is Governor Ricardo, who was sent a letter explaining the situation. The same request was made to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTOP), Carlos Contreras.

As an initial measure, motorcyclists are painting with paint the gaps on the tracks to alert drivers about where the craters are. They also asked that they work with the curb on the roads as well as with light signs that at night warn of the dangers. First Hour had a meeting with dozens of bikers among those who had several who recover from road accidents. According to motorcyclist Rafael Villella, in the last three weeks there have been reported about eight accidents of companions.

 

“We are concerned about the large number of accidents in recent years, including the death of colleagues, due to poor and precarious road conditions. This is uncontrollable because it is in the whole country, “said Georgia Rivera, leader of the Bikers Undoes Boricua (BUB) movement, which carries out social work throughout the year. The promoter of the meeting said that their passion is “to ride on two wheels, but many, like the police and the messengers, use their engines to work, and all are exposed to accidents.”

 

After asking to be heard by the government, Rivera mentioned that when a motorcycle owner buys the tag “we are required $ 10 additional, supposedly for improvements of polygons and for us to have continuous education on road safety.”

In the Island there is a single polygon to take the license (M-1) to drive motor.

“We do not put up with the situation anymore. The government requires shoes, reflective tape, glasses, safety helmet, etc., and now the fines will increase. If they demand of us, we are in demand. We are not asking for anything other than for national security, which is involved in this, “warned Rivera.

 

Magalia Delgado, president of the group “Los Realigns”, came to the meeting with her arms plastered after the 2 April had an accident.

“I was driving on the express 52 and already, at the height of the Medical Center, I feel that the motor starts to get out of control. When I straightened it I fell into a hole and the motor rose. There I lost consciousness, “said the woman who has been driving for ten years.

 

To avoid passing over to Delgado, Lopez lowered the engine but both fell rolling on the floor. Frodo resulted in blows to his knees and body.

Pedro Penrose, a member of Los Realigns, accompanied the group in a bus when he noticed that the road seemed “a washboard. Her engine started jumping. ”

He said that when the motorboat picked up the hole, it continued running and the woman was suspended in the air. Then Delgado “fell face down, did not move … When I called for the third time with all my soul, there as she took a breath and began to breathe. It was a pretty strong impression, “he said excitedly.

 

Delgado also has blows to the knees and elbow, and bruises all over the body.

Meanwhile, Rivera warned that if the government does not take action they will go to the Capitol.

“We’re being forced to make it to the Capitol to make some kind of pressure. We will be parking the motor to the front and if they do not listen to us, we will have to copy the circumference of the Capitol until somebody attends to us, “he said.

 

“We are going to go climbing, climbing until we achieve our purpose. It is not asking for us, it is road safety for all of Puerto Rico, “he reiterated.

Andrés Cruz Lama, president of the Latin American Motorcycle Association (LAMA) said that what they demand “is not that they pave all roads. The first thing is to stop all those gaps. Then they have to keep doing their job. “

Healthy and fit with your dog

Have you ever thought of your dog as a sports partner when you are running with wears a safety vest? A more faithful ally is not there. In addition, not only for your health, but also for your dog’s benefits when you are move well together. 5 nice suggestions for sports you can do with your dog.

 

If you want to move with your dog on a regular basis, please visit the vet first. He can check for any heart, lung or other health problems. It is also important to check your dog for arthritis or musculoskeletal disorders. So do not run your dog for half an hour. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your joint workout and make sure you keep on a regular routine. Rule is important for your dog and forms an extra stick behind the door for yourself.

 

Walking with your dog

A solid walk with your dog is the ideal form of movement for both humans and dogs. The health benefits for you: a stronger heart, lowering blood pressure, more energy, strong bones and a lower risk of depression. In dogs, regular walking can reduce the risk of behavioral problems. There is no fixed guide for the length and duration of a dog to walk. It is fun to gradually work with your dog towards a goal, gradually increasing the pace and duration of the walk. In addition to walking with your dog with dog reflective clothing, there are other sports you can do together.

Tip: Look for places where your dog may run away. For example, go hiking with your dog on a dog beach or in the woods.

 

Dog Dance

If walking you cannot cheat, dancing with your dog might be something for you. Yes, you read well, dance. Dog dancing is a sport for anyone who likes to train with his or her dog and who likes dancing and enjoying music. The sport is suitable for any age. Dog dancing originated from obedience exercises performed on music. If you want more information about this, take a look at the Dutch Dog Dance Bond website.

 

Run with your dog

Running is a good way to lose both energy and to work well. Inform if your breed dog is suitable for racing long distances. For example, a Labrador needs a lot more racing than a bulldog. Wait for your puppy to grow up and gradually build the schedule to a 30-minute circle. This must run for five minutes, warm up, twenty minutes and five minutes of cooling down.

 

Try as much as possible on unpaved trails and walk your dog at the same pace. Dogs are less high than humans and therefore less visible in traffic. Therefore, let your dog walk on the side of the bream. When you walk in the evening, it’s wise to make your dog a reflective vest or rig to do so that he stands out for other traffic.

 

Fitness training

With this sport, it is your intention that your dog will take a course with a number of devices as soon as possible.

During this training, you both work on your fitness, while your dog also improves coordination.

 

Skating

This sport is a dangerous activity with an untrained pup. Before you know, you roll in the bushes because your puppy sees a bird. But skating with a lined adult dog is safe with the appropriate training. For your dog, the goal is to run next to you without pulling the line. You can encourage this behavior by rewarding your dog when she is in the right position.

Hunters in safety vest with his dog and eagles

Karle Newman from Pesky several times a week “cleans” the Hradec airport from hares, starlings and pigeons. Besides the eagle and the quail, dogs help him. The Predator in Air is a warning signal for other animals. Since 2008, he wear a safety vest has been driving dogs, eagles, hatcheries and other predators a couple of times a week, and cleaned the grounds of starling, pigeons, hares and other uninvited guests whose collision with the plane could end up a disaster.

 

By delivery, we enter the approaching runway when a helicopter is just off the ground and the light motorized aircraft cross the sky. There are two Breton hounds in the backseats impatiently. We hang hangars and Karle closely monitors the surrounding area. “I have to go through all the areas to see where it moves. Here are hidden horns and hares that could enter the track, “he explains. If he notices an uninvited visitor, he must alert staff to the control tower. After each “walk”, he writes a detailed report.

 

In the western part of the airport, about 30 meters from the runway, the car stops. At first glance, there is peace, except for a few swallows hanging from the ground; there are no fowls in the sky that could pose danger to pilots.

“The worst is always after the mowing, when the grasses fly into big birds and collect insects,” says Newman. The main enemies are starlings, pigeons, raccoons, there are also herons, storks or mugs.

 

Plot is not an obstacle for hares

Karle Newman opens the car door and drives a pair of Brittany hounds. Like a biological protection worker, they also wear yellow reflective vests. The “search” – Voice command is a clear sign for a 7-month-old female and a thirteen-year-old dog.

 

They begin systematically combing the strip of grass between the fence and the start-up runways. As soon as they are a few meters behind, the handler is summoned by a piercing whistle into a wooden whistle. After a few minutes, the wizards attribute their first success. They look for the hare, who immediately gives a furious run.

 

While an experienced dog returns to the master after completing the task, the young female hits the hare several tens of meters until it falls out of sight. After a while, however, he returns and continues to work. They are exercises to expel hares, not to hunt them.

 

Although the airport is surrounded by a fence, there is no problem for hares to get inside. When they overrun the area, the hunters in reflective clothing organize a classic hunt or capture. They will not move for 10 minutes, and the hounds drive out another hare who has settled in the low grass.

Laptop backpacks are fashionable with reflective print colors

The domination of dull black notebook bags seems to have come to an end. More and more laptop users prefer to take a colorful backpack with reflective fabric. They know about it in the Topminnow Company, where they have been focusing on this kind of goods for the third year now.

 

According to director Radom Brenda, customers want backpacks not only comfortable and with many security features, but also multifunctional. With the development of new products, customers are also helping the internet.

“Laptop backpacks have become one of the key products, notebook prices have gone down and so many students can get them, looking for comfortable luggage with sophisticated details and a good price,” said Brandi.

 

In the course are mainly color variants of backpacks. But its place also has a black backpack, even if it does not lack, for example, reflective tapes.

“The backpack is now wearing, for example, managers who walk in their suits, and they prefer a black laptop backpack rather than a colored backpack,” the director added.

 

The backpacks include a neoprene pocket with an organizer for safe notebook storage, a document compartment, or other storage pockets. The laptop compartment can only be opened when you do not have a backpack. “Customers have a lot of interest in this security, with a laptop in the backpack they travel by public transport and do not want someone to get in. While the backpack is primarily designed for the notebook, it has to be usable for other purposes, “Added Brenda.

 

Laptop backpacks cannot be missed like a pocket on MP3 or CD player and a headphone socket, PET bottle holder, a shut off mobile pocket and a special reflective strip. A practical accessory is also a backpack.

 

The men who prefer bets on elegance are the traditional black laptop briefcases. According to Brenda, however, this assortment is on the decline, because much more interest is the backpacks.

 

Many women prefer classical bags or bags. For example, online stores offer a wide range of bags, bags, cases or cases from various materials, from nylon and polyester to shell cases. In addition to the document compartments, the mouse or the source includes a pillow for cosmetics.

Police officers in safety vest warn children at zebras

Some police stations or police officers with wear safety vest are seen around the school all year round – but from Monday, the presence of the uniforms becomes even clearer. Not only in the morning between 7:00 and 8:00, and then after schooling, but also in schools.

 

There are a number of seminars on safe road traffic. From the last March until April 4th, the police organize the spring round of the eighth year of the preventive information campaign “The Zebra does not look for you!”

 

The new spring of this year is that in Prague and Central Bohemia police will sometimes be accompanied by representatives of Auto. While police prevention and transport operators in the Zebra campaign talk to schoolchildren primarily as non-motorized road users and discuss the safety of pedestrians (especially the lesson about proper crossing the road is never enough) and cyclists, car makers will be the kids as co-drivers In motor vehicles.

Demonstration is mainly about demonstrations of proper attachment in child car seats; But also simulated impacts associated with explaining the operation of the airbag, remembers Renate Sander from the police presidency.

 

Gift items increase efficiency

Together with police officers, the BESIP coordinators will also go on the field. Various gift items are available to them and other partners, and the cops try to promote campaign effectiveness. Nor do not miss the notorious task-sticks with a police motif, much sought after in recent years.

 

But – this time, Sander is very promising to give away reflective accessories, which will ensure that pedestrians can see them in the dark in time, even if they wear dark clothing. “First and foremost, these reflective elements should become a motivational element to remind children and youth of responsibility for their health and life in relation to their behavior in road traffic,” Sander said.

 

The fact that the pedestrian chauffeur dressed in black or blue dressed has a chance to notice on the verge of the road to the last moment – if not too late – confirmed by the head of Prague traffic police Pave. Such a reflective strip allows for a longer distance to respond to the presence of a pedestrian who is wearing white clothing. The inconspicuous light-reflecting feature of the car really can help prevent black ends…

 

Resilient armor with reflective element for participants

The light of the world saw another garment with the proud name of the Spartan warriors. This time he has the task of protecting his legs. Specifically, calves and shins. The Calf Guards in safety vest have the same features as handhelds that have been tested before, but you are not mistaken. But maybe you just love them all. Welcome to a world where there is no need for water, mud brooks, stones, ropes, but also barbed wire!

 

Simple hoods provide basic shaving and calf protection. They are ready for both dry and water, and some twig or stone would not hurt them. And you do not. Sleeve design is carried out in a traditional combination of black, gray and deep yellow color. Retro elements blend with industrial abstract patterns of triangles and hexagons. Technically, this is a tubular sleeve with one longitudinal seam carried out in flat stitching and tape under the foot. It is also lined with flat seams, but the upper end of the fabric is already processed by welding / gluing. So unpleasant pushing and rubbing under the knees should not occur.

 

For a long time, I wondered if the tape, which is designed to prevent the sleeve upward, should be worn on the sock or under the sock. I tried both variants. From changing over my sock, I promised more foot comfort, from underwear under the sock, to more freedom and comfort for my ankles. In the end, I decided to put down the sleeves and then the socks. The fabric is so fine that it does not cause any problems on the barefoot.

 

Minor problems, unpleasant dirt, however, provided huge white signs, maintenance and compositional notes. They are stitched to the sleeves relatively tightly, with a tiny stitch and their removal requires a little more tailoring skill.

 

Especially when shooting terrain and other occasions when it comes to shin, you will definitely appreciate the strengthening structure stuck on the stitches in the front. The combination of triangles creates a lightweight and resilient armor for participants of some Spartan. In addition to the refined design, you will also appreciate the reflective elements on both socks during training. On the one you will find the logo of the manufacturer, on the second sign of the race in the shape of a Spartan fighter. The word “Spartan” then leaves no doubt about where to put you.

 

The hangers hold well on their feet, their material does not hold water or sweat, but protects well against mud and other traps of mud races. It also works slightly compressively, so if you are a supporter of these permissive means of support, you will also not go away with unassigned. Weight analysts are not disappointed or weigh less than 46 grams.

 

What to say at the end? On mud races, I always went with my legs – whether in long elastics or at least in shorts combined with the sleeves reflective tape. I never regretted it. The cuffs can also be used in training under boundary temperature conditions. Before you warm up, you can protect the lower legs when it gets hot, you just put them on your ankles and keep moving. This legend is usually not quite possible.

The hunters wear distinctive clothing and do not drink

With the onset of autumn, hunters with wearing safety vest began to play the main hunting season. Common hunts, especially for small game, are held in the region from the beginning of November until the end of the year, practically every weekend. Many are planning to visit police to check compliance. But the hunters themselves are also careful about the rules. More and more emphasis is placed on their own safety.

 

Police officers in Wallachia have checked three hunts this year, another sixteen checks are scheduled. In the whole region, they visited twelve hunts, checking to plan sixty-five.

 

Wherever they are hunted, men have a very good overview of the law. “All hunts, usually common to small game, such as hares and pheasants, have to report to the police in advance,” explained Michal, head of the Stein District Hunting Association.

Police officers control weapons and alcohol

The hunters do not intend to hunt the public in particular. It is a fact that a specific place is specified operationally in the morning before the hunt, in addition to the hunt is issued local hunters. In a given village, people usually know that the hunt takes place.

 

Police in reflective jacket checks take place mostly at the start of a hunt, but the patrol can be hunted at any time during the hunt. “They check weapons licenses, hunting and weapons documents, and whether the weapons they use correspond to those documents. And of course he is also interested in whether any of the hunters has drunken alcohol, “said Dubcek.

 

He did not deny that in the past sometimes some of the jigsaws appeared on the horns. With the increasing number of controls, alcohol has disappeared from the hunts. “Certainly, at least the last fifteen, twenty years, no one will let the hunt drink or consciously come drunk,” he convinced the chairman of the hunters.

 

The reason is that the violation of the regulations threatens the immediate loss of the firearms license for five years. The firearms license can also come to hunters for offenses they commit in everyday life and which are not related to hunting.

Hunters have also put more emphasis on the safety of honeys in recent years. They are increasingly using reflexes on clothing. “In the world, in North America and Canada, it has been happening for several years,” said Michal.

 

Even in our lands, it is the rule that all hunters who are in the hood have reflective vests or jackets. Most hunters on habitats have reflexive hats, reflective crinkles, or scarves. “There is no law to us yet. We do it for our own safety, “said Dubcek.

There is no wonder. In the case of small game hunters, the hunters are burning with shotguns, and then there is not much risk. “The shotgun has an effective range of forty meters, the shotgun range is within a hundred and fifty meters,” Dubcek said.

The ball guns target wildlife hunters from a distance of fifty to two hundred meters. “But the deadly effect has a bullet across the flight path, which is five kilometers,” the hunter said.

 

According to him, cases of someone being shot are rare. Maybe every two years. “There are a hundred thousand hunters in the republic. If every year we burn fifty wounds on average, we can easily calculate the number of shots, “said Dubcek.” The number of wounds that fall in the hunts is the minimum number of injuries. “Nobody is infallible, but compared to road traffic we need to admit that the car is a much worse weapon, but I do not want to apologize, “the hunter assured.

 

The police statistics are also in favor of hunters. Last year, for example, police officers in the county did not notice a single injury. “We did not find any misdemeanor. Probably due to frequent and regular checks, they are free of hardship, “said regional police spokesman Lena.
