Its HOT out there!

Post by jaysonjaz »

Anyone else here struggling through the heat of the summer? Last night I waited until 8pm to go out and the heat index was still at 105degrees (thats 41degrees Celsius for all my UK friends) here on the East coast of the US . That is absolutely ridiculous for this part of the world, but since I didn't want to skip a run, I hydrated all day before and right before I went out. Everything went well for my 25 min run, but when I got to the cool down part of the walk, I felt a bit light headed. Any suggestions? What are you guys doing to stay alive? :)

Try running in Ireland where you go from heat exhaustion to hypothermia all in the one run!! Don't envy you running in that heat i dont think I could exist let alone run

I hate running in the summer heat - luckily we are having a rubbish summer this year - so it's not upsetting me at all! I can't help with tips though - im sorry - i will watch with interest for any suggestions though! ;)

I have been running at 10 PM still to suffer with 95-98 degrees. It's not fun.

Don't know how u do it. I run at 0700 . Any temp more than 18 degrees leaves me very red and feeling terrible. Looking forward to the autumn!! Can only admire you. Well done!!!!
