hot temperature running
Before you ask, no, this Tuesday's run, sure to be in sweltering heat, is not cancelled. But, you need to prepare for the heat! Most tips you'll see talk about avoiding the heat, such as running indoors, or avoiding peak sunny hours, but what if you are going to run in it anyway? The tips I follow: wear coolmax rather than cotton, wear something on your head if it is sunny (and don't neglect sunscreen), bring a water bottle (or Gatorade for long distances/times) which you can put in the freezer the evening/morning before, run with someone else (or hey, even a club!), and ease up on your exertion level while you slowly get acclimated to the heat. For this last one, if you ran in this past weekend's heat, you're better primed than if you've been an air-conditioned gym on the treadmill. Build up gradually. Note- I'm not a medical professional. These are just some tips I've learned that work for me. Others will have additional ones. Here are a couple sites with more advice: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_1/121.shtml http://www.running.net/features/jaggersjune03.html http://coachjoeenglish.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/training-tips-for-racing-in-heat-and-hot-weather/ Kevin |

Re: hot temperature running
I think I pretty much passed out at Penn's Landing this morning. I'm not entirely sure how I made it the 2 miles home. |
