Today we sit down with some CLIF runners to talk with them about their experience with morning runs. We’ll also chat with our in-house sports dietitian and nutritionist about the best way to prepare yourself for your morning run and everything that follows.

Ever gone on a trip to Boulder or Lake Tahoe and been unable to maintain your usual pace? Have you felt nausea, headaches, light-headedness, and dry mouth and eyes? That’s because running at high altitudes means less oxygen and moisture for your body. Tips from our experts include LOTS of hydration, and easing into your running routine. Start easy, and always have a water bottle in hand - before, during, and after your travel. Give your body the time it needs to adapt to its new environment if you can, and give yourself lots of recovery time.
