As a sport that can be done anytime and anywhere, running is not limited by venues and the number of people, and has become the first choice for many women.
Whether in parks, streets or indoor tracks, female runners can find the pace and route that suits them. Nowadays, more and more women are joining the ranks of running.
Especially in running groups, the presence of female runners adds a lot to the overall atmosphere. They not only become motivators in the team, but also promote mutual cooperation and support among team members.
The addition of female runners has injected more warmth and motivation into the running group while pursuing speed and distance.
While female runners enjoy the health and happiness brought by outdoor running, they often encounter some embarrassing problems, especially the two privacy minefields of female runners, which are the most annoying. Have you been tricked?
1. Sweating and clothing
Summer and rainy days are the weather that many female runners fear the most. Under the dual attack of sweat and rain, outer clothes can easily get soaked, and the underwear inside is exposed.
This not only makes female runners feel embarrassed, but also may attract unnecessary attention during the running process.
Especially those colorful underwear, like a magnet, attract the attention of male runners around, making female runners feel extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, how to choose the right running clothes becomes particularly important.
Quick-drying running jackets are the best choice for female runners. Quick-drying materials can quickly wick away sweat, reduce the possibility of clothes getting wet, and help keep the body dry.
In addition, dark-colored clothes are less likely to appear transparent after getting wet than light-colored clothes, which can protect privacy well.
In addition to clothes, the choice of underwear is also critical. A functional and breathable sports bra can not only provide good support, but also quickly dissipate heat and moisture, reducing the discomfort and embarrassment caused by sweating.
The design of sports bras is not only suitable for wearing during exercise, but also can be perfectly integrated into daily outer wear. Even if it is accidentally exposed, there is no sense of violation.
2. Menstrual troubles
Menstrual pain is another problem for female runners, especially menstrual pain, which not only affects the running experience, but may also cause mood swings.
Although modern medicine believes that women can jog during menstruation, sometimes running during “menstruation” is often accompanied by pain and discomfort, and there may also be embarrassment of accidentally exposed blood.
I once witnessed a female runner in the park. When she was running, blood flowed down her legs. This situation undoubtedly attracted the attention of people around her.
Therefore, when running during menstruation, you must first learn to listen to your body and reduce the amount of training appropriately.
If the amount of bleeding is large and the pain is severe, it is recommended to stop running and choose low-intensity exercises such as yoga and walking, which can not only maintain exercise habits, but also will not bring too much burden to the body.
3. Privacy protection suggestions
Female runners, be sure to learn to protect your private space, because danger is often hidden behind your inadvertent turn.
Try to avoid running at night or in places with few people, especially when running alone. These times and places often have higher safety risks and make you a potential target.
Running with friends is a very good choice. Running with friends and colleagues can not only increase interaction and share the fun of running, but also greatly improve safety.
When running outdoors, it is also a wise choice to choose a familiar and fixed running route. In this way, you will have an understanding of the environment and people along the way and can better protect yourself.
At the same time, don’t forget to carry your mobile phone with you, keep in touch with the outside world when necessary, and ensure timely response to emergencies.
Finally, you can consider using some safety equipment specifically for women, such as alarms or self-defense sprays, in case of emergency.
4. Running is a sport full of fun and challenges
For female runners, although there will be some embarrassing problems, these troubles can be effectively reduced through reasonable solutions and protective measures.
I hope that every female runner can find happiness and confidence in running, and I also hope that more people will pay attention to and understand the special needs of female runners.
