Think @hats might be the right person to ask here. Does heat (28c+) and humidity (85%+) have much of an impact on your timings?

I’ve started to run again about 3 months ago after a long layoff and can’t get my times down but mileage is up steadily. Or am I doing it wrong?

Daniels tables has an adjustment for temperatures - this, for example, shows adjustments to a 50min 10k
```
Temperature
16° c	18° c	21° c	24° c	27° c	29° c	32° c	35° c	38° c
Adjusted Time
0:50:00	0:50:23	0:50:45	0:51:08	0:51:30	0:51:53	0:52:15	0:52:38	0:53:00
```

That depends on way more factors than just temperature, I'd have thought

Thanks for that.

I’m guessing that I’m running out of patience. My first month and a bit was running thrice a week for 5km runs with same split timings. Upped to 7km same frequency and now doing three 10km runs a week but my split timings hardly change, it seems I can just run further not necessarily faster. HR averages has stayed pretty stable.

Actually just noticed that I’ve shaved 10% off my average from 3 months ago.
