ROTD Run Of The Day : post yours

[MrSpeedy]

I bailed on my run yesterday. My running group generally meets on Tuesday for bridge runs (hill work) but the "feels like" temperature was 104 degrees. I didn't feel acclimated to that kind of heat/humidity yet, and was still recovering from being outside all weekend. Decided to swim some laps instead.

Turned out to be a good choice. Most people bailed after a few miles, and the ones that toughed it out said it was essentially wasted time, as they couldn't run a normal pace.

7 miles total with 3 miles at Tempo pace. 2.5 into Tempo got caught in downpour, the cooling was nice but I couldn't see a darn thing. 74 degrees, 90% humidity.

 

[Seraphim]

4 miles yesterday.

Went out too fast the first mile and paid for it the rest of the run.

 

[TimmyBoston]

6.5 easy. Though, at the pace I ran it should have been easier.

Wed: 5K slow due to heat
Today: 5K

 

[FL shaver]

87/W11/65%. So muggy. Morning is not much different at 80° and 95% humidity at 7 AM.

 

[TimmyBoston]

12 miles. 84°, 50% humidity. Didn't do so hot.

 

[FL shaver]

I was wondering about your humidities. The air will be abominably heavy here until a cold front in October.

 

[Seraphim]

Another 4 miles yesterday.

Just grinding them out.

 

[TimmyBoston]

9.6 miles. 90°, 50% humidity. Did some speedwork. Wrecked me.

I did my weekly ten mile run this past Saturday. I run with another guy, and even hitting the street at 5:30 A.M. is brutal with above 80 degree temps and almost 100% humidity. We don't kill it speed wise, we are talking the entire time, but we went from an 8:19 pace a couple of weeks ago to a 9:20 pace this week just because of the humidity. It's like running through Jello.

 

[MrSpeedy]

5 miles easy. Too hot/humid to push hard.

 

[TimmyBoston]

5.15 mile slow jog. Really heavy right leg. Blah.

 

[Seraphim]

another 4

 

[FL shaver]

3.2 miles only because Strava didn't stop me at 5K. I'll keep posting the weather (89/55%/WNW9 in the sun) because the times are embarassing!

 

[TimmyBoston]

7.5 miles with 1 mile at Tempo pace. Had intended a longer tougher workout but this is all I had. 88°, 90% humidity. Might as well have been swimming, wouldn't have been wetter.

 

[Seraphim]

Sorry to be a bore, but this morning as my feet hit the floor, I got out the door and only managed another four miles more.

 

[TimmyBoston]

7.25 w 6 strides

 

[TimmyBoston]

20 miles. Got up at 5 to beat the heat. Still struggled.

 

[FL shaver]

5K before the evening thunderstorm. Strava says I'm trending faster. Probably because it was only 83 with a breeze.
