Yeah, this heat wave is crazy. It’s 97 and feels like 105 here in Kansas. Thankfully a cool front is supposed to come through tonight or tomorrow and the highs are only going to be in the 80s next week!
here! Here! I had plans to hit the Y knowing our overnight low was 78 and all the humidity and that was the best case for running this morning. Storms blew through and knocked out power to half of town including the Y. Maybe I’ll make it tomorrow!Just want to say how ticked I am at the stupid heat right now. I'm in central VA and was already a day behind on my training plan, and even right now if I wanted to run at 10:45 p.m., the temp feels like 86 with a dew point in the high 70s...heat advisory through Sunday...ugh. Definitely missing my Y membership right about now.
I did hear this and have been considering her comments about running in long sleeves year round. While I swim in a rash guard, I am not sure I can commit to that!So glad you caught it!! My sister and Dad had melanomas removed last year....so this is my soap box issue!
I’ll put a plug in for a recent running podcast with a dermatologist that was SO informative about sun protection while running.

I can't believe your temps are higher than where I am in FL. Right now it's 92 with a real feel of 104. We have some storms moving in that should cool it down though.

We complain at all the extremes. I was pretty whiny about <-10 for a week this winter. And I’m treating them similar- keep pets & kids inside, check on others, keep a full tank of gas, run indoors, again suggest we get a backup power source. This time the kids suggested we get a giant hamster wheel and they could run on it to make electricity during the next storm. I suggested a treadmill but was outvoted.And these are all reminders why I shouldn’t complain about the odd snow flurries in June.
Yep! I don't usually use anything other than what shoes come with, but I needed a bit more under my arches in my Newtons. I really like Currexsole's products! They hold up forever, too.Does anyone have any experience with Curex Runpro insoles?
Iv'e tried long sleeves in summer here in FL - nope. Hard pass. Never again. Uh-uh.I did hear this and have been considering her comments about running in long sleeves year round.
Am I really gaining anything by varying the instantaneous pace if I cannot hold the effort and end up with the same average pace?
I'm sorry - I'm only laughing because 42% is insanely DRY for me! I can't even breathe in that nonsense. Fortunately, I live where it's 70-100% most of the year, lol!How y'all survive humidity is beyond me. It was 90 degrees and 42% humidity this morning and I felt like I was drowning. Give me 100+ degrees of dry heat any day over this. Yuck.

It's easy: you reach 100% misery level in the first mile. Once you are at 100% misery level, it can't get any worse.
Plus, it's fun to see how much sweat you can wring out of your shirt/shorts/hat or how big of a sweat puddle you can make.
