Thankfully, I don't have to because I am up running or cycling before the sun comes up and it's been hovering right around 56-60 degrees! With low humidity (gotta love Colorado). My last run in heat/humidity was in Mexico (before the sun was up) and it was 73 degrees (which I know for a lot is not hot but pretty warm to me) and 96% humidity. I was truly humbled at how hard it was but I just reminded myself to do what I do when I run in the mountains....relax, slow down, don't fight it and breath deeply. Doesn't help with any speed but it does make the workout more enjoyable!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177308883627646456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-37330687855470454712018-06-13T12:09:29.324-04:002018-06-13T12:09:29.324-04:00You are so brave!

I was running in Hershey by Shank park, and there was a soccer competition of some sort. There were people all over and food trucks. I was in the last of a 12 mile run, and was tired, hungry and hot. Luckily, somebody left a bag full of ice by a tree and I grabbed two handfuls of ice and stuffed one in my sports bra, and one down my shorts. It made a world of difference and I was able to finish my run. I wish i could always find bags of ice along my hot runs.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110855725544210793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-58945771787515885582018-06-13T10:52:37.321-04:002018-06-13T10:52:37.321-04:00I should caveat that I'm talking about south f...I should caveat that I'm talking about south florida only. Because Florida is such a long state they get a lot of cold days in north Florida, and even in central Florida they get a lot colder than we do in the south.

Usually a cold day for us is in the 60s though not the 50s. We get into the 50s at night/early morning but barely ever during the day. <br /><br />I consider upper 60s/low 70s my ideal running temp!

Although that probably means we're much more acclimated to heat. For us running in 80-90 degrees is just part of daily life (esp. in summer), but running in 50 degrees is hard! My hands get so cold. <br /><br />I try not to run in super high humidity if I can help it, but if I need to run in the morning for some reason then I don't have a choice because it's always super humid in the morning. <br /><br />I would say I don't think I have a heat cut off but I won't run outside if it's below 50 degrees, and a lot of that has to due with the fact that I generally don't leave my house at all for anything if it's that cold. I'm sure that sounds crazy to you!
