Whether you run to stay in shape or to compete you are probably aware that if you stop running or jogging for a few days then you seem to go backwards in your training goals. In other words for everyday you do not run you go backwards instead of forwards.

Have you consider what you were going to do when a major category hurricane hits or when the remnants of that hurricane come into the region where you live? With Hurricanes and heavy rains it is hard to get in a jogging workout much like a severe winter storm.

If you are trying to lose weight then you know you must either cut down on what you eat or exercise more. If you cannot exercise due to a hurricane, then it may be tough for you do to your jogging and this could trigger running workout stoppages. You may even be forced to evacuate town and rendering you unable to workout at all.

Worse off if you have left town and are in a new town you may not feel comfortable with the area you are in to go jogging. But you must force yourself to go jogging anyway and you must be careful that the remnants from that hurricane do not cause heavy rains and torrential flooding in the area you have evacuated to.

Hurricanes and running workout stoppages are serious considerations to the serious athlete. If you are a runner or you know this is true and you also know there's something that you must do to continue your workouts. Even if you cannot run you can do isometric exercises and get a good cardiovascular workout to subsidize your normal running workout. Learn about these other types of exercises you can do and please consider this in 2006.
