Heat acclimation
What does this actually mean? Is it that you can run your normal paces and efforts when you’re acclimated? Or just that you don’t die while running? πŸ˜‚ We’ve really just started seeing heat and humidity here for the summer and everything I read about heat acclimation says you should be acclimated within 10-14 days. This is my 5th summer in hot and humid Tennessee and I don’t think I’ve ever felt acclimated. My easy pace, keeping HR low is always about 1-1.5 min/mile slower in the summer. Which makes me feel that I’m not making any progress - although I know I am! Thoughts?

We had a heat wave last week (max 39Β°C) and I did two easy runs (evening and morning run). I don't think I would've been able to do a speed session in that kind of heat. In Belgium, they even didn't recommend doing sports between 10 am and 8 pm. I can't give any professional advice at all but I personally believe that heat acclimation depends on each individual. I feel like there are definitely people who just just can't adjust to any heat. I do love summer runs, but anything below 30Β°C please haha. And summer evening runs are so cosyyyyyy! Just remember that it's okay to adjust your pace to how you're feeling. Better safe than sorry. I'm pretty sure the progress will be there!
What's a running related purchase you regret?
As you know, we have our weekly Tuesday Gear thread where we discuss all anything running related we'd like to buy or try. Now I'm wondering the opposite: is there anything you bought or tried out that you DIDN'T like and/or even regret buying?

I think there's really only one thing I regret buying and it's this running belt. I really wanted to buy one last winter because I thought it'd be easier to wear on long runs instead of my hydration vest. Got influenced online but it's just not for me. From the moment I start sweating, it starts to fold in the most inconvenient way that I struggle to get my stuff out during my runs. I do still wear it because wellll I bought it so better to still use it πŸ˜… but it's a struggle
