SAFD: I'll still be running throughout the summer. The Texas heat will make sure I run pretty early in the mornings, bring hydration for anything longer than an hour, and go slow. We don't have a treadmill at the house so I just have to suck up the heat (plus visors, plus sunscreen, etc.) I had been having some thyroid issues that prevented me from running for about 2 months. That's fortunately resolved now so I'm trying to build back my base. It will be a slow and sweaty process, but I did 6 miles on Saturday and felt pretty good so I'm glad I'm not starting from 0! When I was getting back to running postpartum while nursing my daughter, my running coach recommended Huma Gel Plus Energy (no caffeine) for my running fuel and I really liked it. No GI issues and it helped me stay hydrated throughout my half marathon training + nursing. I'm planning on using the same ones for my long training runs this summer, so if anyone else is looking for a good fuel with electrolytes, I would recommend that one.
