OK, it was a toss up posting here or tech talk so I took a chance. Any advice on training for a marathon when the temps are contantly in the 90's with high dew-points? This morning I went out, temp at 6am was 72 degrees with a 70+ dew-point. I was drenched in just a few miles, and no relief from sweat evaporating. I hate treadmills, I get a little dizzy after a few miles, maybe it's trying to watch tv, and even if I run in the middle of the night the dew-points are so high it provides little relief. The outlook shows the next two days temps will drop back to normal, then go back into the mid-90s all next week. I'm behind on my mileage due to extreme heat for the last 6 weeks, and I'm getting a little nervous with how far behind I am. I pulled out of a half marathon because it's next week, it will be extremely hot, and I don't want to fuck up my self just doing a training run.
I'm paying very close attention to hydration, not running during the "heat" of the day, any other advice? Paging Viva!!
