As I mentioned during the chat, my biggest advice to ANYONE training for a big run in the HEAT is to stay hydrated. Remember to DRINK electrolytes and not just water, and make SURE to drink lots of fluids after your run. I also recommend wearing appropriate clothing, such as dri-fit clothing and a top that wicks the heat away. Before the race, try to do some training runs EARLY in the morning or evening when it’s cooler to help face the heat the day of. Do not forget to pace yourself; slow and steady is the way to go.
