As we publish this today, August 21st, we are experiencing the first sub 70 degree morning since June. The summer of 2026 has been ridiculously steamy for so many of us around the world, and our running feels tough as a result.
In this episode, we provide ten science-based reasons why your slow, sweaty, and uncomfortable summer runs are serving you well for fall. We also discuss how to optimize your easy days and your speed work to ensure you’re getting the right training stimulus on a particular day.
We hope when listening to this episode you are enjoying some cooler temperatures!
