Let's get started again

I had a pretty good run today in the morning. Just started at 9 AM and headed out of the village, first 20min is just along the Autobahn, I like that not feeling alone ;-) Afterwards I headed uphill to the forest, and about 1:20h later I accepted a higher pace and really ran to my home. I felt really good during that run, I didn't have that good feeling for more than 2 weeks, it was the first time since then that it wasn't such hot and humid. I am really NOT a heat runner, I read in a sports magazine that for hot weather your body has to work a certain percentage more compared to when it's cool, I don't remember that percentage but I think it was around 10-20%. Actually, personnally I feel that I loose about 80% of my power and energy when it's hot... Is that just a mental thing? ;-)

Stats:
Distance: 17k
Time: 1:25:30

Oliver, I couldn't agree MORE! I am terrible in the heat and I too think it takes way more out of me than 20%! Good going and nice to hear from you again! ;)
