+ Heatstroke risk?

What can I do to avoid the risk of a heatstroke? Any one of the below conditions can put you at risk for heatstroke. If one or more of these risk factors applies to you, avoid running in the heat (above 70° F/21° C). On the day of the event, please review below risks; if you choose to go ahead and participate, kindly note you do so at your own risk: • Alcohol intake within twenty-four (24) hours • Dehydrated • History of heatstroke • Lack of recent, regular training • Lack of sleep • More than 20 percent (20%) overweight • Not acclimated to the heat. It takes three weeks to acclimate to an increase in temperature. • Recent immunizations • Sunburn or rash • Taking medications, either over-the-counter or prescription, especially those that decrease your ability to sweat, including: o Anti-diarrheal medications o Antihistamines o Atropine o Cold medications o Diuretics o Ephedrine, ephedra, ma huang o Scopolamine o Tranquilizers Should you go ahead with participating in Run for Good, please be aware of the following warning signs of a heatstroke.
The beginning stages of heatstroke are often marked by a throbbing headache, a general feeling of malaise or excessive warmth, confusion, difficulty concentrating, disorientation, clumsiness, stumbling, and excessive sweating or no sweating. The symptoms of heat exhaustion, a condition that can precede heatstroke, are extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting, giddiness, muscular cramps, rapid breathing, and faintness. If you or a teammate have any of these symptoms, stop running, get into a cool environment (shade, for example), and seek medical attention immediately. How can I prevent a heatstroke? If you have one of the above risk factors, avoid running in the heat (above 70° F/21° C). Even runners to whom none of the above risk factors apply should take the following precautions by reducing the length of your run and slowing your pace by one minute per km until you’re acclimated to the heat. It takes three weeks to fully acclimate to a higher temperature and humidity. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, before, during, and after runs and races.
