The Running Review

Running Attire – Important To Consider Cultural Aspect

The fact that I have run in different countries helps me enjoy a different and broader perspective over all other friends and relatives who run to keep themselves fit. There are many persons who believe that wearing compression shorts is one of the most fundamental rules of good running.

When one is running into the wind, a pair of loose clothes can create a lot of obstruction and resistance. This can easily through the individual off track and can spoil his or her running technique. In such a scenario, wearing clothes that stick to your body can make a huge difference. However, I have discovered that one must consider the cultural aspect of such attire as well.

A pair of loose T-shirt and tight compression shorts may be perfect for running but need not be the perfect one to represent your culture. When running in a traditional and conservative nation, I found that my choice of clothing attracted more attention than the fact that I was actually so focused about my fitness. It doesn’t matter whether you are a man or woman.

If you are going to violate the culture of the place you are residing in, you are automatically going to face a lot of problems. Does this mean you should change your attire and face difficulties in running just because you live in a conservative country?

Well, you always have the option of checking out private gyms or even purchasing a treadmill so that you can run in your preferred attire. However, if you insist on running out in the open, you should consider these additional factors as well.

Running and Hematuria

Even though it’s not a widely talked about condition, but blood in urine after running a marathon affects nearly 90% of athletes. It is accompanied with pain in the lower abdomen and at times one might even find blood clots. The condition is called hematuria and can also be an indicator of various other hidden health issues. In many cases if the person would rest for a couple of days, it would subside but in case if it does not subside after a period of two days then it is high time to get it checked by a nephrologist. I am an athlete and one day, after an early morning running session, I went with out with my cousin who wanted to get some Accident USA compensation. While we were sitting over there suddenly I felt like pissing and when I went to the loo and pissed I saw my urine in a pinkish colour, I was scared. I spoke to my coach and took rest for a couple of days and everything was fine and normal.

There are two kind of hematuria, one is called microscopic hematuria and the other macroscopic hematuria. Microscopic hematuria is not dangerous, even within the urine of healthy people blood clots can be found by the use of a microscope. The point of worry starts when the urine colour is in between pink and red, this would indicate macroscopic hematuria. This could indicate issues with the kidney, since the red blood cells have leaked into the urine. If it is some internal infection then it can be treated by taking antibiotics and in case if it’s due to stones, then cystoscopy or biopsy can be performed. But always keep in mind that in many cases hematuria could be resolved simply by taking rest for a couple of days. Do not ignore rest.
