Running again

[Provost Harrison]

I would contribute more to this thread if you weren't using these archaic units. I run about 10km (albeit usually indoors) in about 53 minutes...proving to be a struggle to get that one down. I have been doing more swimming recently and managing 3km in just under 1:10 (never too sure of the precise time).

I also heat up very much when doing exercise...it is why I like swimming...water cooling. I find it hard to run in anything much over 15C and preferably about 10C.

In Sweden, it has been a nice warm 65 for most of this month. People talk about how nice it is.

Last year there were a few weeks in July where it was in the low 80s. People talked about a heat wave.

It isn't humid.

:Haw Haw: I've had warmer winters here than some summers in Sweden. Wait till someone convinces you to go swimming in the Baltic! I never got past my ankle before throwing in the towel.

i was doing some running here in the summer. it was around 35-40 degrees (celsius, that is), think the hottest day was 42. i wouldn't recommend it.

Yeah, the temperatures where I was in Brazil were stifling, and humid too. The problem was this prevented me from doing exercise, however the food is really, really good So weight gain was inevitable, although I have got rid of it all now. Although I may well be back to Brazil later this year and early this year so this could be a problem...or I need a hotel with a good gym (should't be hard as I will be in Sao Paulo next time).

15C is 59F... what the hell? that's below standard room temperature!

it does get extremely hot and humid here, last summer was a real eye opener for me. i'd never experienced temperatures like that before. i was stuck living in a house with no a/c, no fan and no ventilation for a month, it was horrible.

you seem to be back and forth to brasil quite a bit these days ph, how's your portuguese coming along?

Yes...and my body generates heat when running. Perfect...

It's okay to sweat. Is that what it is? You don't want to get sweaty?

[Provost Harrison]

No, I don't want to get too hot. A cooler external temperature allows me to dissipate that heat more effectively.

Running when it's colder out is nice, but when it is too cold it hurts to breath in the cold air.

But it only hurts when you get to -15 or colder

Ah... references to Canadian toughness... we get enough of it from Asher.

The thing is, you Canadians can't handle the heat, anyway, and since most of the earth's surface is warmer than Canada, guess you guys aint so tough after all.

The google tells me Seattle is more humid than Philadelphia.

In fact, Seattle is apparently one of the most humid cities in America and the general region includes the most humid areas:



You don't feel it because:

I don't doubt it is humid here but when it is hot it feels less like cincinatti and more like California.

Trail running is the best. We've got some awesome parks out here where you can run for ages and not see another person.
