I usually run an hour on Fridays.
I’m assuming since the air quality is at red that I shouldn’t go for a run? Or are ppl running anyway? |

| If you want to run, figure out how to do it inside. That’s what I’ve been doing. Today I have 1.5 hours on my bike planned. Will do that inside and a little later while running the AC on recirculate all day. |

| I didn't run today (Thursday). Assuming I wake up tomorrow and it's orange, as opposed to red, I'm planning run. I live the VA burbs which have slightly better conditions than DC. |

| I run on Thursdays and had some trouble from the get-go today. Decided to walk the rest. If I had planned better, I would have run indoors at the gym. |

This depends entirely on the individual. OP, have you tried at least an hour walk in these conditions? How did you feel?
I did an hour walk late Wednesday afternoon, and felt totally fine. So I decided to try a run early this morning. It smelled very smokey, but I felt completely fine running. Normal pace, normal breathing, no coughing, no ENT issues. 12+ hours later, I still feel fine. Different strokes for different folks. I'm a healthy, active, 40-something woman if it matters. |

| I run 40 miles over 5-6 days every week and won't run above 100 AQI. Go find an indoor treadmill if you really want to log the miles. |
