Member  37  Denial |  Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official ThreadAny tips for getting ready to run in that kind of heat? My plan is just to get out and run during the hot part of the day as much as possible. Unfortunately, the weather has been cooler than usual so far. Need to train in the heat? Come to Georgia. Our heat acclimation is well underway, with days here in South Georgia peaking at over 100 - close to 110 with the "heat index" (high humidity). Broke a sweat rolling the trashcan to the curb last night at 11:00 pm. Even Atlanta is seeing temps over 95. Running is no fun, but it's a good motivator to get that swim workout done. Ten (10) weeks to Ironman - 8 to the taper. Last week was pretty tough for me, as I tried to make up for some lost workouts the week before. Due to some knee issues, I'm a little behind on my long runs, but I think that will be the case all the way up to the start-line. My bike is good, and I've even gotten in some nice hill rides in the North Georgia mountains lately (very flat where I live). My first century of the year will be this weekend, and should be good hot-weather training as well. I'm hoping to give the nutrition plan a trial run. My swim needs some more distance, but we've got 8 weeks to get there, right? Push on, people. Push on. Edited by Georgian 2009-06-23 10:07 AM |

Champion 7595   Columbia, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread wiky - 2009-06-23 10:22 AM grit_nugget - 2009-06-22 11:28 PM Get ready for the heat and humidity and get ready for it NOW! It has been in the 90s the past two years and last year we were treated to fresh blacktop in a few sections which made it extra steamy. Yikes! Just when I thought I had accounted for all of the external variables... Any tips for getting ready to run in that kind of heat? My plan is just to get out and run during the hot part of the day as much as possible. Unfortunately, the weather has been cooler than usual so far. x2. I've been embracing the heat as much as possible -- running in late afternoon, for example. And we don't seem to have that 'cooler than usual problem' here. It's been in the mid to high 90s for a while here... You'll never be as fast at 95 degrees as you are at 50 degrees, but your body does get somewhat used to it. |

Running was not an option. On Sat. I did an 80 miler. I Finished about 10:45ish and it was 101 in the shade. But about 50ish miles into the ride, I came up on a group of roadies and a lady had passed out. Edited by BamaDC 2009-06-23 8:28 PM |

Extreme Veteran 550 Vine Grove, KY | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread The chicken broth was only at a couple of stops right? i remember i kept running and running, hoping it would be at the next one, and it never was. i think i only grabbed a cup at one stop during the run. somewhere between 15-19 I think.

Regular 255 PA | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread PA has been mild at best..great for most folks but I'm in need of some hot temps! We did have a 85 day here today and I was outside all day for work and then ran 1 hour when I got done. I sweated a lot at work (kevlar/polyester doesn't breath) and felt a little heat exhaustion....not what I expect Louisville to be like. I have family in Louisville and they think I'm crazy for doing this race. My cousin said to me "Gwen, don't you know its like Africa here in August?" :0) |
