With the summer temperatures at high levels it makes it difficult and often dangerous to run.
The dangers of heat problems such as heat exhaustion can affect anyone at any given time. Recognizing the signs of heat problems vary from excessive sweating to feeling the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. One of the most subtle signs is a decrease in performance. It might be trouble with tasks using your hands, trouble walking on uneven surfaces, or simple jobs taking a much longer time than usual because of mistakes. In running, the warning signs include a pace that is slower than usual and it may seem as if more effort is needed to maintain the usual running speed.
Training for longer races is really hard in hot weather. With a slower running pace, the time spent out in the heat makes the possibility of heat problems much more likely. The training can be shortened and the benefits of a faster running pace can be done by increasing the intensity of your run.
