Hey Running Friends, Today's talk is about poor air quality, and how to look at it as a runner. I never thought I would have to worry about it living in Buffalo, NY, but these past few months  we have had some really bad air from the fires in Canada. Some days you can smell the smoke in the air! Resources from the episode: Comparison of N95 Masks from Wirecutter- originally written during Covid, but updated last month to deal with the wildfire smoke Ed Avol- An Air Pollution Expert's Tank on Exercise, Smog and Health Air Now - this site tells you what the air quality is based on your location (you can also look it up by zip code), and also links you to a Fire and Smoke map if that is a concern in your area If you are looking for a coach to help you reach your running goals, even if it's just to start to run, take a look at my Coaching Services page on the website.
