I look at the PM2.5 data for my city every day, and at this point (Nov) in the winter season, the only acceptable time to exercise is between 2PM-4PM after vertical mixing kicked in. Outside that duration, particulates are elevated after morning rush our, after evening rush hour, or during overnight inversion trapping evening rush hour + wood burning smoke until the next morning rush hour.
This is one the main reasons why I would prefer working remote, it is hard to utilize this time well (for exercise) if you are in the office.
At least with PM you can wear a mask, although I am still searching for the best one that works during intense exercise.
Also wanted to point out

- clumsysmurf 11mo agoThanks, that's one of the masks I use! Unlike the GVS SPM587 it has a quick release thing so you can get to your hydration for water and microplastics :/
