HOH Tuesday (NO) Workout (6.9.26)
Happy
Monday, Team!
Congratulations to everyone who ran
Paige’s Butterfly Run on Saturday! The humidity was a bear, but you all did so well
in spite of it!
Due to the Workforce Run happening on
the Parkway tomorrow (GOOD LUCK to SETH and LESLIE who will be
running it with me!) there is no official group
workout scheduled. If you would
like a short workout, please let me know and I can send you one.
With Summer apparently here in full force
with all its heat and humidity, now seems like a good time to remind you all
that your body heats up at least 15-20 degrees during exercise making
your runs feel hot and likely uncomfortable. Plan ahead and stay hydrated ahead
of your runs; whether you’re racing, running a workout, or simply running
some easy miles carry enough hydration with you to sustain your entire run.
If you’re interested in reminding
yourself why summer running feels harder or the benefits of running in the heat
can offer, you can read a blog post I wrote and shared last summer: How
to Handle Running in the Heat & Humidity, which can be found on the
website. You can also brush up on some tips & reminders that may help make
summer running a little more bearable.
MODIFICATIONS AND CANCELLATION
POLICIES DUE TO SUMMER WEATHER:
With summer weather upon us and the
potential for an increased Air Quality Index, we should keep the following
modification and cancellation policies in mind for heat, thunderstorms, and air
quality.
HEAT:
Modify to roughly
an hour if the real feel/feels like temperature is 90-95 degrees at the start
of our run
Cancel/Postpone if
the real feel/feels like temperature is above 95 degrees at the start of our
run
THUNDERSTORMS:
Modify (for
thunder with no lightning) by waiting for one hour after the last sound of
thunder is heard
Cancel if there is
lightning at any point in our run
Air Quality:
Modify if the AQI
is between 70-100
Cancel if the AQI
is above 100
Please keep in mind that while these
are the general guidelines we will follow as a group, your safety and
well-being are the number one concern. You should always do what is best for
you.
**in the event we need to cancel or
postpone a run, I will notify you by posting in our Facebook group and emailing
between 4-4:30pm (on Tuesdays) and 7am (on Saturdays) …. or as soon as
possible**
LOOKING AHEAD:
Saturday (6/13): Meet at 8:15 at LMS for our LTRs
Tuesday (6/16): Meet at 5:45 at LMS for our workout
I hope you
have an amazing afternoon!
Hydrate, fuel
yourself, and stay cool!
