Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

What is most important is where you run.
If the sun has set , running at a park is close to the real weather stations measurements and viable.
I run on road and pavement that have been sun-burned the entire day, so radiation heat is still big.
e.g last time was Monday night, 11pm. Weather station gave 25C/77F. But actual temperature was 31C/88F. The difference is colossal.
Good luck anyway, tbh i kinda dig this "go out and run at extreme conditions" vibe, i might go for it too lol

TREADMILL "Speed form" RUN

2K warmup
Sprint 8x400m @ 15kmh (4:00 pace ) / 60'' walking rest

Hottest day of the year, over 40'C (105'F) in the shadow. Not pleasant to even breath that shit.
Same for the weekend, a little better but not enough to convince myself to go run. Maybe today.

17 July

Run 8K @ 44:59 ( 5:37 pace )

Night was milder ( but not mild, 32C/90F at 11pm) , there was a nice sea breeze too, so went out for a real run.
Was shocking fast, that's definitely a "mid July run" PR lol
Best part was the feel though, legs felt fast, light and bouncy. Love that feel.

25 July

Run 5K @ 27:59 ( 5:35 pace )
Low aerobic zone run 3K @ 25:32 (8:30 pace)

T+DI 163 ( 93+70 ) @ 11:30 pm, cmon heat wave give us a break!
It had a  pleasant breeze when i started and i felt fast and springy. But breeze suddenly stopped, i kept that fast pace and i overheated at 5K
Switched to low aerobic zone, did 3 more kms to get the initial 8K goal and called it a day.

Back!
3.5 weeks of no training ( except from almost daily lazy swimming ) , lots of food, alcohol and cigars. A fitness disaster but a holidays success!  8)

Run 7K @ 43:32 ( 6:13 pace )

Not that bad actually. Rusty from 3.5 weeks and T+DI   154 ( 86+68 ).
First 4K was pretty fast and nice, gassed out at 4.5K , continued fast-ish till 5K ( which i got in 29:20 ) , then slowed down for the last 2K.
