This is my third summer of marathon training since I started running and I'm pretty sure its been the hottest. This morning I was scheduled for a 5 miler so I opted to sleep in a bit and run on my own. I set my alarm for 7:15 but didn't get up and out until 7:50. That was already too late even for a short run.
These days if you're running outdoors you have to pick your poison; either run in the morning with slightly cooler temps but high humidity or run very late in the evening when its is a little drier but feels like you're running in a pizza oven. Either way its extremely important to remember to hydrate both before, during, and after each run.
Normally with each long run I try and improve my pace and make some sort of measurable progress, but not lately. These days the goal is to finish upright.
