How would you keep your core body temperature down in these conditions?
I’d walk slowly off the course
Fionnuala PB 2:26.
2:30 pace.
Easy
Why is this being ran in Sapporo and not Tokyo?
Cooler.
27 degrees at 7 in the morning
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
This ain’t the parish sports
What else is on tonight lads? I’ve been in bed before 12 every night the last two weeks, but I’ve a few beers here in front of me and I might stretch into the 1am territory
Naked Attraction starting soon on E4
At 25k Diver is 22nd, 0:42 behind.
McCormack is 50 seconds down in 26th.
Greg and David are a nice combination
You’ll win no gold with a weird cock
Basketball final is on at 3:30 am tonight.
Two athletics fans shooting the shit. It’s great stuff.
The ladies golfers are teeing off shortly too I think. Should know within an hour if Meadowes is likely to challenge for a medal
