6-7am here

Early, slow down, and carry water with electrolytes.

As others have said - run early - I try to do 6 am. Run less and slower. If the temp is 70 or higher - I don't run. Long hike or swim laps. I feel physically ill if I run when the air quality is bad. I always slack off in the summer a little but then get back into it in the fall. I love winter running.

Treadmill. It has been too hot and humid for me even at 6 am.

I'm having a rough time with the heat. Yesterday it was so hot by the time I even got up that I traded my planned 6 miles for 3 miles on the treadmill. Today I toughed it out and did my planned 5 outside. It makes me uncomfortable when my heart rate approaches 150 and I was definitely pushing it today - up to 146. Really hope this heat breaks soon or my yearly mileage goal is f'ed.

By this time of the year any structured running I do inside. So, that’s basically all of it. Despite my best intentions, I never end up ready early enough for anything outside that’s more than 40 minutes. I can certainly do it, it’s just the quality of it isn’t going to be very good.

Even with my elaborate indoor setup, once I’m up over an hour I start to heat soak the room, so I’m inherently getting some heat and humidity adaptation that way anyhow.

Another treadmill half today (13.6). Including last Sunday, I ran 50 miles indoors in exactly 6 hours. It helps I’m not very intelligent and sort of a robot now.

I try to avoid the hottest days of the ways and ride the bike inside. On the on hottest days I try to get 3-5 miles in before 10am.

This. I did 7 miles on the bike yesterday which I thought would be lower effort than running but my Garmin counted the ride as Tempo. So I’m going to ride more this week too until the heat subsides.

Op here. I bike hills.

I really think there are some runner that have a mental disease. Like OCD about running. Why anyone with a sane mind would run outside in 100F degree weather is beyond me. Then you see the idiots running outside in the snow or rain. For heaven's sake man, run on a damn treadmill or take up a different exercise like swimming for a few weeks. It won't kill you.

I live in Arizona. I run before the sun comes up. Back home by 6:30. It’s still 90 at that point but tolerable. We have no humidity so it’s really not too bad.

Treadmill.

You obviously don’t run. Can you even make it off your couch??

Can you even bench press 275 lbs?

You should keep your trap shut while being so weak.

I fold a couple of paper towels together, get them wet, and stick them in the freezer while I stretch. It's pretty frozen in 10-15 minutes and I put it on my neck. It helps take the edge off the heat.
