Running in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles is dangerous for my health?
December 7th, 2009 | by Michael |
Belgian Mike asked:
I try to run around the USC campus which is pretty close to the downtown. There are lots of cars passing and constructions going on. Plus Los Angeles as a whole, is notorious for smog and air pollution. But I don’t want to run indoors because I originally come from a very clean, quiet, and small town near Seattle, Washington, and I’m used to running outside.

1: Don’t run on the Santa Monica Freeway. If you do watch for cars.
a little more seriously, now…
2: Stay Hydrated. The climate in the region is quite dry and you will probably notice the difference while exercising.
3. Watch for visible pollution, tune into local air quality reports and websites to find out where the air is cleaner.
