Currently 28 in Tokyo but humidity higher there which is a bigger issue

I’ve done a few marathons in 30 plus degrees, and I’m a full roaster who hates the heat. I always wear/wore a white nylon cap (a freebie from the first of them) and at every water station put a fresh wet sponge under it.
Worked pretty well.

Sinead Diver only took up running at 33.
That’s great motivation for lads in the lockdown running thread.

I ran Boston marathon 4 or 5 years ago and it was 25 degrees. Was walking at 14 miles. Going straight on the beer after getting off the flight 2 days before wasn’t the best idea I ever had.

I recently detailed how I left a trail of puke from Kilfinane to Dundalk a few weeks ago due to running in the heat. Watching these wans gliding around in this humidity is making me feel a little sick again

The ladies golfers are teeing off shortly too I think. Should know within an hour if Meadowes is likely to challenge for a medal
