RUNNING 101 - Running in Heat & Humidity

If you haven't read this one yet, it's totally worth the read!

And subsequently, an article on slowing down to get faster? This one blew my mind! I was like huh? what? http://www.counterpartcoaching.com/articles/slowdown.php

I tell ya what, I'm going to pay much more attention to my HR by wearing my monitor on these crazy/super hot and humid runs I've been doing lately. I think I may have been putting myself at more risk for trouble than I realize.... I'm also going to try the slowing down thing as well...

Great articles. I've read similar articles on slowing down and while it seems counter productive, it does make sense.
