Are you decreasing the distance, while maintaining usual tempo, or the other way around?

I personally rather decrease the speed to keep my usual distance. Pack a camel back and keep on trucking.

Can’t wait for fall.

    I live in the tropics where it is hot and humid year round. Personally I would keep the distance but run slower.

    • Run either very late or very early to avoid the afternoon heat
    • Stay hydrated, drink a lot throughout the day and not just before running!
    • Use isotonic drinks or mix some salt into your water to keep electrolytes high when sweating
    • Don’t blame yourself for stagnating or reduced performance! I found that between running in the morning and afternoon here the heat and humidity alone can raise your heart rate by 10bpm!
