Roadwork today.

Higher temps you'll sweat more. More sweat, lower performance.

 

once your temperature rises it will effect performance!

 

true

 

..............Hydration; before and during.

Actually, for a six-mile you shouldn't need to carry anything with you, but definitely before.

 

How long before? Couple of hours?

 

..............Ideally, take in a little water thoughout the day as you lead up to it. I run at night/late afternoon typically, so while at work I'll sip on water all day, so that I don't feel the need to sit there 30 minutes before the run and chug a half a gallon of water.

If you do that, a couple moderate swigs of water before you head out should get you through the six miles or thereabouts just fine. As a rule, I don't bring anything to drink if the run is anything under ten miles. If it's an especially hot day I might, but no need otherwise.

 

I mostly run during the mornings, I can't be bothered sitting around for 30 mins+ waiting for the water to work it's way through my body. So I drink like a fish before I sleep. Bad side is you **** like a water fountain in the mornings, and if someone get's to the toilet before you do then you're ****ed!

 

............The beauty of living alone, man.

If you've hydrated the night before you should be fine, just a couple swigs before you go and you should be okay.

 

............Depends on the distance (and of course the heat). If it's a 20-miler, you bet I'll bring it along. If it's six, there's no need as long as you keep hydrated leading up to it.

That said, everyone's different. If you feel you need water or a sports drink for that, there's certainly nothing wrong with it. I'd recommend one of those hand-held bottles with the strap along the side of it. You can tighten it to the back of your hand, so you don't have to worry about gripping it as you run.

 

I do the same, with the same consequences.

 

Hello,

This is natural.. Everything in life/boxing is based on a cycle.

For example, we train to fight then rest, fight then rest. All the while building our

stamina. We for instance do not have the same energy at the end of a work out as we did

in the beginning .

Here is the point: In terms of stamina, there is daily stamina, weekly and

monthly stamina. I tend to focus on the daily neglecting the rest. ( Rest)

If interested I got this idea from a book about 5 and 10K training.

Here is the title : 5K and 10K Training
By Brian Clarke

He gets scientific about rest/train cycles…


Hope this helps..

 

Depending on your weight and running background running six miles is no easy task. Add to that the increase of temperature and it is quite a strain on the body. If you were not fully recovered from the run two days ago then you would tend to feel a bit sluggish. Couple that with the heat and it is even more likely. Put a little more time to recover from the six milers until you build up to that distance over a longer period of time and you will be okay. Also consider running at times when it is cooler.
