We do not always have the chance to run on daytime. After a day's work, it is dark outside and you would stick to running. But running in dark on the road will be dangerous, particularly in the condition that many cars on the road. To avoid the dangerous, you may do many useful things. Not only accident will cars bring, but also waste gas, it is full of carbon monoxide, which make us uncomfortable or even poisoning.
Dark running. Part of runners do exercise at night because they have not time on daytime. If you agree to the following simple rules, there are no problems.
Run toward cars direction. If there pass by a car, it looks dangerous and you would better stay away from it. Of course, the situation that left the road and enters the unknown dark, there may be trouble. But hit by cars will be worse than the trouble.
Wear a reflective vest or light-colored clothing. If you forget that, you may wear dark blue long sleeve sweatshirt for running. The driver will know how far should they change the directions, and the result will be quite different.
Run on the streets that you are familiar with. You would ...
... check the road before running on it.
Do not directly view the car headlights. The bright light will make you blind. If the driver does not reduce the beam, you would try to remember road ahead and its shape. Turn aside will help you avoid the strong light.
To cars, you should be careful both night and day. No driver will hurt you deliberately, but some of them are not so clear about their position. We talked before that running toward the cars direction is important. But one thing is excluded, that is to the sharp turn. In the inside of shape turn, drivers do not see very far. So you should always run in the lateral. If you do not run on narrow roads, this will greatly reduce the risk.
Another danger posed by automobile is exhausted gas. I used to have known of carbon monoxide on human health, but until I read an article before know how great the harm is. The writer pointed out that the Carbon monoxide will combine with Heme more than oxygen. They will not disappear in short time and will do continuously harm. So do not running in the place that has great amount of Carbon monoxide, concentration of carbon monoxide in your blood will increase. To make half of the carbon monoxide disappear, it needs at least 8 hour sleeping.
The lesson is clear: running as little as possible to the exhaust gas. You would better run with friends, so that can easily deal with any accidents. It is safer to have a friend take care of each other. Not all drivers are so kind and they may drive away if no others there. I always heard of people complain that his friends was hit by cars in night, and the driver disappeared in the dark night. General speaking, I do not suggest you running in dark, but to special cases, you would be careful.
