Winter racing is gaining popularity. For this to be nice, choose appropriate clothing and accessories is essential.
According runner Pierre Reveille, who participated in the 1984 Olympic Games, one of the most important rules concerning the holding of a winter runner is primarily to avoid cotton. “Cotton absorbs water, keeps moisture and rubbed on the body. It is much more comfortable with merino wool garments, a high-performance natural fiber or synthetic fibers, “explains Reveille, now coach and owner of the shop Endurance. A safety vest preference is three layers: basic, intermediate and shell.
How to know if you’re dressed too? “Once outside, if the rider is not afraid before starting his training is that his clothing is not suitable for the current temperature. Inevitably, in the effort, it will be too hot. ”
Someone who was introduced to the race and wishing to equip themselves from head to feet in winter must provide a budget of approximately $ 500.
For shoes, the marathon runner suggests three options: cleats, shoes Gore-Tex (a waterproof and windproof) or shoes four seasons and ventilated, which require good socks. Removable crampons may be required when the surfaces are very icy. “Cleats or not is really a matter of personal choice,” said Pierre Reveille. Merino wool socks with pads are preferred.

For hands and head, it is better to keep some options. One can start the race with gloves that are covered with mittens, a hat and a hood that is worn in combination. In the effort, when body heat takes over the cold, the rider can remove a layer. There are also convertible gloves with fingers covering to protect from the wind.
“We must remember that we must run face vehicle and not the reverse,” insists Mr. Reveille. And although most of running clothes have reflective tape, it is important to bring a flashing element to attract the attention of motorists. In winter, as the daylight period is shortened, the rider must ensure that it is visible at all times.
Mr. Léveillé recommend taking a coat lightest windproof possible and to instead work with the lower layers “Too thick and insulating shell will only be useful for a few weeks in the year as if the rider opts for a light shell windproof well, he can use at least three seasons, provided he carries basic and intermediate layers well suited to the climate. This is a better investment. ”
The first two layers, basic and intermediate, must be adjusted to the body, allow air circulation and be adapted to the intensity of the effort of the rider. Given their high price and the many opportunities in the market, the advice of a specialist is recommended to ensure adequate buy reflective clothing.
Winter challenges abound in Quebec, and the offer meets the aspirations of runners of all levels as well as families. To facilitate the selection of one or more challenges in running the Courir.org site offers a calendar those groups. Fancy a first race this winter?

If in the next day someone comes and makes the move to give a cylinder of green paper and let stand case. Surely this is a person who is wearing reflective clothing participating in the campaign that launched the Brain Injury Association of Burgos (Adacebur) with the theme takes over. Watch your brain. This group proposes that Burgos know what acquired brain injury, how it happens and what can be done to prevent a serious condition suffering in the city about two thousand people, approximately.

The president of the group, Rosa Maria Herero, yesterday asked the cooperation of the people to catch the relay, read the information that’s inside and share a picture of the time in social networks. “We want people to upload a photo to Face book or Twitter with relay, to send it by Whats App or send us an email to telling noting his experience and his commitment to improving your health, then pass it to another person, “said psychologist Association of Immaculate Garcia.

Among the relays are tips on how to protect themselves from a stroke or a stroke and traumatic brain injury, which are by tumors and anoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), the two most common causes of acquired brain injury. In the first case, it is to control the risk factors associated with blood-hypertension, high bad cholesterol, diabetes, alcohol- or drug use, avoid a sedentary lifestyle and obesity taking a diet rich in vegetables and fruits and correct stress, anxiety and depression since, according Adacebur ‘depressive moods tend to thicken the blood, making it more thrombogenic. “To prevent head injuries give advice to car drivers (using the belt, avoid distractions, keeping the safety distance, observe traffic regulations and not to drive after consuming alcohol and drugs) and motorcycle (wearing a helmet at all trips, light-colored clothing and safety vest) and pedestrians (walking left at cross road and always properly marked places). If you don’t have a safety vest, a normal reflective tape for runner can also be used in this situation.

It is called acquired brain injury the result of a sudden injury to the brain that produces many consequences of physical, mental and sensory character that develop abnormal sensory perception, cognitive disorders and altered emotional plane. Those affected complain of neglect suffered by the administration and that after being treated at the time of stroke or trauma or tumor and go home and nobody pays any rehabilitation aid and has to run on their own. That’s where Adacebur plays an important role, providing neuropsychological patient care, psychological support to those affected and their families, occupational therapy, speech therapy and physiotherapy.

In the 25 relay bright green and handmade by people Adacebur they will also find a card “with sufficient size to carry in your wallet,” according remarked the Councilor for Health, Marisol Carrillo, which supports this campaign, with the data of the association and five recommendations to prevent brain damage acquired.
