In Florida humidity? There's nothing you can do to control your body temperature. I would wear multiple synthetic layers while running in NH in 10 degree whether with wind, and while I would be uncomfortably cold starting out, once I started running my body would warm up within 10 minutes and the rest of the run would be great. In the winter, even in the blistering cold, you have some control over how you feel given that you can layer appropriately. I've lived up north in New Hampshire and I've lived in Florida, and I will take extreme cold running in the winter in NH every day over summer running in the south. Later in the day temps will soar to over 90 and the humidity will still be over 80%. If you wake up at 5:00 AM for a run, it will be close to 80 degrees outside with over 90% humidity. From May-September, it doesn't matter what time of the day you wake up, the humidity is there. It’s important to keep an eye on both temp and humidity Even temperatures that seem reasonable can become dangerous in high humidity, as your body can no longer cool itself down as effectively. Please also drink lots of water and pay attention to what your body is telling you.Įditing to add: humidity is no one’s friend.

My run yesterday was in the morning, and I still was affected. Please be careful and look out for symptoms of heat exhaustion on hot days! Avoid running during the hottest part of the days, and even when you run in the morning/evening, please still be careful. If I had been further from my house I would have tried to keep going with terrible consequences. However, I didn’t realize what I was feeling until today was heat exhaustion- i just thought it was a bad run and I was out of shape after my vacation. Luckily, I was nearly done, so I didn’t suffer too badly. Yesterday I began showing signs of heat exhaustion during my run- chills, goosebumps, excessive sweatiness, tiredness, and - after my run- nausea and a headache.
