You should try out the sweat test to determine your sweat rate in these conditions, then you have an attack plan to stay hydrated.

There were air quality warnings in effect and man I could feel it. I decided to Gallowalk the run to be safe, especially because I had a 20 minute pick up in the second half (fail!). The Gallowalking helped, but I ended up consuming 48 oz (3 lbs) of water and wast still down 1.5 lbs when I got home. It was brutal out there!

I actually had to sit down under a tree in the shade for a few minutes!<br /><br />Hey as for the running slow thing -- I am in the base training stage right now and most of my longer runs are to be in Zone 2 - which is a 8:45-9:30ish pace. I also have trobule slowing it down so on my Garmin I set up my HR zones and anytime it goes into Zone 3 the Garmin will beep 3 times. This makes me slow down -- I think I read awhile back that you had a Garmin 305 so this might help you slow down some .... shoot me an email if you need help setting it up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566217809969646786.post-1424003845400423082010-07-04T05:19:52.823-06:002010-07-04T05:19:52.823-06:00It is hard to check the ego and 86 a run.

Nothing good can come out of toughing out a run like that.<br /><br />I do most of my runs in the AM to try and beat the heat – the humidity is always here in Mississippi. However, try to determine when you think you will start your run in your upcoming HIM – those are the conditions that you should try to acclimate to – after the swim and bike and depending on your start time it could be around 11AM.Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566217809969646786.post-70696077211596674122010-07-03T22:37:39.574-06:002010-07-03T22:37:39.574-06:00We need to track down that guy who made the dumb j...We need to track down that guy who made the dumb joke and tell him that if he insists on making stupid cracks he could pick a better animal like a cheetah or something.

Ugh :/ On the bright side, it must be nice to "try" to do "slow" sub-9-min miles!

Your body hasn't re-adapted to the heat and will rebel but you just keep at it and next long run will be better. Make sure to super hydrate the day before. I always try to drink 2 big bottles of Powerade Zero w/1 nuun tab in each before my long run. And, I don't get the Rocky Mtn's anymore!
