I tested my first camelback yesterday. It was 93 degrees and very humid. I ran on the track. 12:36 first mile. Then ran
a quarter and walked a quarter for the next mile, in 13:37. Walked the rest. 16:45 pace. 3.39 mile total. Only problem
with the camelback was trying to suck in water, when I was out of breath. Otherwise it was comfortable to wear.

The heat in NY is not been great. All of my outdoor speed work has mostly fallen apart this week, which is sad.

Will get a 10K in tomorrow, need to drink as much water as possible prior to running.

 

[Swissmiss]

4 miles in the heat to go to brunch. Then a bit more of a mile walk (maybe 1.25?) after brunch in even hotter temperatures to catch a bus back home.

Actually a good running weekend. Ran 5.24 miles on Saturday, it was 75 degrees and humidity was nasty.
I ran at the same time on Sunday morning. It was 10 to 15 degrees cooler without the humidity. I ran 7.81
miles at a faster pace than I had run on Saturday. Unfortunately, according to the weatherman, the humidity
should be back by the end of the week.

Couple of rest days late last week then Saturday I did a 10k on the treadmill. Amazing what happens when you put Hamilton on - time flies.

11 miles Saturday. Got out before sunrise to try and beat the sun. 80F at finish. Ran out of shade for the final mile and felt terrible all weekend. Feel better today.
Tue - 3 miles
Wed - 4 miles
Thu - 3 miles

3.1 on the treadmill this morning

13 Sun, spent the whole time talking to my DS on his bike while running, so yeah.

Agreed. My old water bottles were squeeze, much easier to get water faster. The hose/bladder combo takes longer and I have to work it in with breathing.

Isn't it funny how much easier a run can be when you have someone with you, you can talk to?

 

[Swissmiss]

3.4 miles after work running with my ladies group and then about a half mile or so walk uphill to home after we’d finished our run.

 

[dreamfinder]

3.2@8:40 last night.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

WHY did I run outside again? why??? 2.75 @ 14:31 - 97% humidity and "feels like" 78 at 7am

 

[OG Runner]

I totally agree. I ran 4.10 miles last night. Temps were in the low 80s but the humidity was brutal.
I ran very steadily and was amazed when I checked my watch, my last mile was at a 13:50 pace.
My legs felt like lead and I felt like I was walking more than running.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

Someone please kick me in the hiney to do my strength/crosstraining? I haven't done anything but run for over a week and I know it'll bite me in the butt if I don't strength/crosstrain

Consider yourself kicked, but only because I consider you a friend.

 

[OG Runner]

4.51 miles. Steady run at a little under a 13:00 pace. Only 75 degrees but still very humid.
I am looking forward to a New England fall.

 

[lightningtap347]

10K yesterday, looking to do 8 miles today!

 

[Swissmiss]

Went with some friends on a « little » run at the height of the day’s heat. They have only been running a few months and the way they were talking, I figured « little » would be 2, 3 miles tops. To avoid the heat, it was mostly a trail run (I hate trail running). After 3 miles, my friend said “it’s only about a kilometer more”. At 3.5, i decided I’d had enough. The rest of the walk back from there was still another mile

The good news is, I no longer feel worried about dragging them into my 24 hour relay team

Higdon Dopey training officially starts this week. I've been building up to it.

12 miles today, launched at 0600 to get a start on the sun, took longer walk breaks, feeling OK.
Tue - No run due to Fred
Wed - 4 miles
Thu - 3 miles
