A team of USA health professionals have created the following Air Quality Index (AQI) guidelines for outdoor endurance athletes who are exposed to wildfire smoke and other pollutants.
For all club team training sessions, the coaches will check the air quality using the US AQI PM2.5 and use the guidelines below. We will make an announcement on any adjustments to team workouts by 2pm (for after school workouts) or 8am (for weekend workouts) on the club’s forums. We recommend you use the same guidelines when you train on your own.
