to be problematic,” says Avol. But even those who don’t suffer from any of those ailments should be aware of the long-term ramifications of running in that kind of environment.The short answer: Probably not. “There’s a risk/reward calculation that you have to make,” says Jason Fitzgerald, a USATF-certified running coach and founder ofin Denver, CO.
But runners are nothing if not dedicated to their training plans , so “if you are going to go out running, I think it's probably best to do a short, easy run,” says Fitzgerald. “The damages from air pollution are more pronounced when you're taking in a higher volume of air, which could mean running for a long time or running really hard—anything that will really increase your respiration rate.”And if you decide to run, wear a mask.
