Wouldn’t you know it. It’s been nice and cool all spring, maybe one day where it brushed 80. And here comes the heat, just in time for my Boston qualifier.
I don’t mind running in the heat in July and August, when I’m acclimated to it. But why Sunday?
Any tips? I started on Endurolytes yesterday, one every 5-6 hours until the race, and lots of water the today and tomorrow. I’ll double up on the HEED on race day, mixed with CarboPro, figure a 20 oz bottle every 6 miles. Any other ideas are welcome.
Off for a swim. I’m taking advantage of the nice temps.
