How are you dealing with the heat waves?
How are you dealing with the heat waves?
Are you decreasing the distance, while maintaining usual tempo, or the other way around?
I personally rather decrease the speed to keep my usual distance. Pack a camel back and keep on trucking.
Can’t wait for fall.

I live in the tropics where it is hot and humid year round. Personally I would keep the distance but run slower.
- Run either very late or very early to avoid the afternoon heat
- Stay hydrated, drink a lot throughout the day and not just before running!
- Use isotonic drinks or mix some salt into your water to keep electrolytes high when sweating
- Don't blame yourself for stagnating or reduced performance! I found that between running in the morning and afternoon here the heat and humidity alone can raise your heart rate by 10bpm!
