Heat Related Illness due to Exercise
Introduction
Exercise and Environmental factors are the most common causes of heat related illness. However several other factors can play a part including medical illness (eg. infection), drugs/medication, dehydration, being overweight, lack of acclimatization and the extremities of age. In race situations many environmental factors such as heat, wind, and cloud cover are simply unavoidable if you choose to compete!
Bunyaville 7km - Sat 12 Dec - Report
We had a nice cool afternoon blow in, making for a very pleasant afternoon’s run. This event is run informally, as a come-and-try-it opportunity for trail running, since Bunyaville State Forest is so accessible. We had a good turn-out, with 44 in total, and a high number of locals, including family groups of all ages.
