The Extra Mile! Why Autumn Might Be The Best Time To Run

In this episode of RunPod, Jenny Falconer discusses why autumn is arguably the best time for running. She highlights the benefits of cooler temperatures which allow runners to perform better and recover faster. The beauty of the autumn scenery, filled with golden leaves and gentle sunlight, transforms runs into more mindful experiences, providing both physical and mental rejuvenation.

Furthermore, the lower number of people on running paths post-summer makes it easier for athletes of all levels to find their rhythm without distractions. Autumn also offers a perfect opportunity for runners to reset their goals, especially if they took a break during the heat of summer. Jenny encourages listeners to consider building mileage, starting new running plans, or signing up for upcoming races. Overall, she emphasizes that with kinder weather and inspiring views, autumn is an excellent time to lace up and hit the pavement.
