last year in the Keys it was between 89-92 degrees with the heat index topping 97 so I have been doing as much hot weather running this week as possible. The temps in Orlando have topped 90 a few days this week. Yesterday I ran 18+ miles in the heat of the day - I left at 2:45p and return around 5:30p. Temps were in the 90s most of the run.
The crazy part is - the keys have not topped 85 in the last few weeks. If the heat index stays below 90 for this years race it will be a totally different race from last year. Last year was a survival fest, this year could be a race if the temps stay mild.
This weekend going to try for a 25 miler and a 30 miler - then rest until the race.
Stay tuned for race reports!
Happy training out there - everyone that is out in this heat please stay hydrated
