Is anybody else here badly affected by heat? Ran at lunchtime yesterday and today. Crawled across the line yesterday and just gave up today after my HR hit 175 after a mile where I'd normally expect it to be around 145bpm.

I'm feeling otherwise well, just can't seem to put a decent run together. I've not had any problems running in 30 degrees before but it has been quite a few years since I last did it.

I wilt in heat, being a pasty ginger.

Think about:

Lower your relative intensity and don't be afraid to walk if it helps.

Suncream, hat.

Shady routes, e.g trails under tree canopy.

Time of day - run early or late.

How well hydrated are you before run, during and after.

I've had a bit of time to read up on this and I think your're spot on.

I'm going to drink some water and go out and have another crack. Even if it takes 11 minute miles or I have to walk I'm getting today ticked off.

Cheers for advice.
