interest in this topic renewed after returning to the swamp.

very detailed and well-referenced article: https://www.irunfar.com/2018/06/handle-the-heat-heat-acclimation-for-endurance-running.html

didn't end up running last night. body felt woozy-hungry, hormones all off w/r/t meal timing and i generally like to force myself through that discomfort in order to get over jet lag more quickly. but meant i didn't feel up to running. whatever.

this morning

- run 9.02 km in 48:50; walk/run 1.29 km in 10:07
holy shit. it's not even that hot: 82/28, but 71% humidity. humbling. gonna have to completely recalibrate my sense of my own fitness. pace started off normal, although i told myself i should take it easy, but last two km averaged 6:01 and i was struggling. doesn't help that it was downhill out and uphill back, with 99m of elevation gain, which is triple what i'm used to.

final few days in UK, have not been prioritizing running. between dealing with logistics and seeing a few people one last time before i skip town, not a hard call.

- run 10.16 km in 52:01
first 3 km w/ex, last 7.x in 4:51 average

- stretch

much cooler today, and overcast for the first time in what feels like weeks.

- run 10.01 km in 46:10
10k "PR" of 46:08. checked watch a little after 8 km and realized i could get close to 46 minutes if i picked it up. so did last 2 km in 4:30, 4:03. pretty pleased to have hit tempo pace for the last km of a 10k. legs felt a little heavy at the beginning but it didn't seem to affect pace. no calf discomfort or tightness.

- stretch

thanks for the suggestions. seems like my provider has been having problems in multiple places.

BTW adarq, the internet is being glacially slow now for most websites. except not this one, which is loading normally. any idea why that might be? gmail won't load at all, washington post is hit or miss. the guardian and al jazeera load but slowly. lots of other websites load but without images/media.

EDIT: embeds here like instagram posts don't load.
