    Texas heat. Running just shorter runs less than 10K in the morning around 7:30AM with 84F before it hits 100F by noon time.

    Great video! I Currently shopping for a UPF top so I don't burn 😬 Also, good advice on the towel to wipe off sweat while I run. I'll carry one with me at least until the new top gets delivered.

    UPF shirts are a great option for sun protection! Nd I love a good towel/bandana.

    Your instagram story on this video just had me laughing and made me come to watch this again just because 😂 Great useful video though! I still prefer a hot run instead of numb fingers and toes in the cold so I’m enjoying the slow, sweaty, sunscreen-y, always thirsty, feeling kinda wonky, summer running pain.🌞😝🔥

    I found this VERY helpful! Especially living in SoCal this week 🥵☀Wondering if you could comment or do a future post/epsiode on the benefits of compression sleeves for runners? I am newly getting back into road running, and have a long history of ankle issues. I am noticing some inflammation after runs and the folllowing days- nothing that is stopping me from running- but am curious if compression during/after could be helpful. THANKS in a BIG way for you content Lyss🙏🤗

    I just run as early as I can, usually starting at around 5am (ok I have to do that in winter as well if I run before work but in summer its even on weekends) - and luckily here in Switzerland we will move our longer trailrunning session on weekends to higher altitudes in the Alpes where its much cooler🏔️

    As a long distance runner in the myrtle beach area, I would rather bore myself to the core on a treadmill for a 15-17 mile long run VS running outside here during the summer ….. humidity is that bad here

    Totally get it! Lived in Georgia and trained for races for 4.5 years then Kentucky for 2 before that. I rather run outside in any conditioning rather than a treadmill, but totally get the urge to go indoors sometimes to not feel like you’re drowining in the air!

    Yea i just moved to myrtle beach almost 2 years ago 2022. From Augusta GA and my fastest race times belive it or not for half were in augusta! Ever since i got myrtle beach my race times have went worse. Last 5-6 races i have done myrtle beach have all been 60-70 degrees with over 90 percent humidity its been frustrating on race day weather. You train all winter fall in cold then race day randomly is 70 with 95 percent humidity. Last marathon i did myrtle beach last march was 65 degrees 98 percent humidity and i failed miserably. Then my half marathon last october it was 72! 72! and 100 percent humidity at start race back october i FAILED miserably for half pr again! Week before training i was faster for 13 mile run. If it EVER ends up being cold race day maybe i can finnaly go for PR bec its becoming frustrating. My fastest half was in augusta ga on hills in 30 degree weather back 2021

    Yea Deenocon! belive it or not ive ran and raced in NC GA and myrtle beach SC. Myrtle beach in my opinion has been the TOUGHEST when it comes to humidity combined with heat. I dont know what it is but last 4-5 races it has been TOUGH im hoping it finnaly be 40-50 degrees race day this October and march. I will also be doing the half in October, and i havent decided on the half or full in March depends how well i do later this year. Good luck this October and March!
