Heat index temp south side 10:45am now 42.3 deg C. (32.5 71%)

Think tomorrow i need to cut with my kid by 0915hrs. Will be at Westgate Scarlett at 0930 to eat the liang pi.
Come back that time 10+am with full solar exposure (even warmer) and hot asphalt, maybe just pour water on him, even though RH% is high, still will have a certain cooling effect with 25kmh wind coz there still will be evaporation esp with the lycra materia which "spreads" the water out.


They smart this year, this kind of conditions if slow runner and really still got WCH hot asphalt and unsheltered, is just asking for it. Is no longer mind over body or what.

start earlier in the morning like 6-7am, depending on how far you are thinking of running

haha that is if want to avoid most of the heat haha but if building tolerance then must train in heat haha

cool! which part? how do you find it?

Went on a chan brothers east us and canada tour. Went to Toronto, quebec and montreal. I think Toronto is just like any major city but Montreal and Quebec are very chill and beautiful places with the mix of french and english architecture. Quebec wall also still in tact!

how to exercise to raise tolerance for warmer weather?
this summer damn terok for me here in SH, which made me mentally gave up going for runs. Even when i got out to run, i slowed down my pace drastically.

Just train, not that different from altitude camp, but is very difficult mentally.
Core temp must heat 38.5 deg C, so need to bring thermometer with you during the session.

Cannot. They got checkers at every pen to check your bib. But I know of people that sneak into Pen A last time when they are Pen C originally. Not sure how they do that. Maybe they know the checkers or what

Pen A only a handful of runners. A person with a Pen C bib is going to stand out. LOL have to be very thick skin stand there with the others Pen A.

Mine arrived today just before 5.30pm run. Just nice!

First impression after 7km + 4 x 300m + 2 x 80m sprint.

Roomy forefoot and toebox. Feels like wide version of US brands.

Size 44 length is really like 44.5 of other brands. @Ender size 45 might just be enough for you.

Non plated, feels pretty natural.

Natural rocker effect. More pronounced if body tilt forward.

Naturally encourage me to go faster. Doesn't feel forced.

More firm than soft. If Plaid 1 is 9/10 soft, Xiaonian is 4/10 soft.

Good energy return. Every step of effort responds very well in return.

6min to 5min pace no problem.

Ran 4 x 300 at 4.10s pace. No problem.

Sprint 80m at 3.30 pace. Great. Can feel every step unlike soft cushioned shoes like Plaid 1/1.5.

Overall very pleased with the first run.

Also ran with Dowin 神行者3 couple days back. First impression not as good. Does remind me of Saucony Endorphin Speed 3.

Need more runs to test.

Naturally will push faster in Xiaonian. Looking at reviews, I think Qiaodan Leili or Linghang 600 works better for 7min.

Wanted to get these too but over quota!

Anyone ever tried such facilities to boost recovery?

I see the prices beings mentioned in the article, think i am better off making ice cubes and boiling hot water at my own home to soak my feet.

Thanks for the sizing feedback. I took the leap of faith, as the poison was too much. LOL. Ordered 45 and it's on the way via sea.
