[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started running 5 years ago and this very same thing happened to me while training for my first marathon. After running three marathons each slower than the last, I really put an effort into speed work. I also had to get comfortable being uncomfortable on some of my runs. I forced myself to push hard at the end of my runs. Another thing to remember is the weather can have a big impact on your pace. I am 1/2 minute to 1 minute slower in the summer. As it cools off in the fall , I see an automatic increase in my pace.[/quote] As an offshoot of this, if you google "dew point effect on running" you'll be able to find some charts that show you how much of a drop off in pace you can expect in really hot and humid days. It's actual science at play and not just feeling lazy on a hot day! Many of the articles explain the science behind it and it's reassuring to know that it's not exactly something you can help.
