Ran into work again this morning featuring the 15 mile
route. Today is officially the hottest day of the year this summer and
when I started at 5:30am, it was a humid 75 degrees. By 10am it looked
like this (notice the “Heat Advisory” warning):
Took 20 oz of water and 16 oz of Ironman Perform Sports
Drink with me on the run (on my water belt) and consumed all of it by mile 8
when I reached Hart Park (where I filled up 20 more ounces of water).
This was a tough run and I had to scale back my pace about 30 seconds per mile
in order to keep my heart rate in the desirable zone. It was definitely a
HOT, TOUGH, & SWEATY workout that I am very glad is over.
Big weekend coming up featuring a Saturday that contains 6 hours of straight endurance work on the bike and run (80 mile ride followed by a 6-7 mile run). Let's hope this heat wave cools down by Saturday!
