I sometimes walk with a cotton shirt on. You can really tell the difference.

I run walk pretty much every run when it's hot and humid. It's the only way for me to survive 😂

If it's too warm for me to run outside, I run indoors on a treadmill or at an indoor track. That way I can control the temperature and humidity, and make sure I'm comfortable and hydrated.

Nice update. I haven't been doing much running or videos lately. I plan on doing a video explaining why soon. Looked like you had a good month though. Let's hope the trail run won't be as hot as it has been these past few weeks.

My first trail run was a 10K called 'Hell Hath No Hurry". It was outside Pittsburgh toward the airport. It was pretty cool. That's the only run I've done in Pennsylvania. Lot's of great choices throughout the state.

My runs always end up late morning early afternoon. I sweat so dang much. I take a squeeze bottle with me and especially right now where I’ve been running less I just go with run/walks. It helps get through the heat. My new running area has some decent shade areas too. I’m going nice and easy and I just keep drinking!

So, it can’t do multiple times and different rest periods in 1 set?

A sensible return from the injury Heather. You still managed to get a few good session in there too. I need to load up Zombies Run and give it a go again too thanks for the reminder. 😊👍 I hope the injry recovery continues to go well Heather. 😎🤘

This is very helpful❤

Great advice!

I don't listen to anything when I run outdoors, but when I'm on the treadmill, I like to listen to music.

Thanks, and all great tips. For those that don't hydrate, pls realize your blood will thicken and your blood vessels will narrow, and you're risking a blood clot and heart attack. Unfortunately, I've seen it happen in a marathon.

I keep it very simple. When I'm running, I drink water with a little lemon juice. It's a great way to stay hydrated.

Always great to join you at the run for the past few years, and I didn’t know you had a CZcams channel! 🤦‍♂️

I've always been terrible about hydrating while I'm running. I got better about it when I was training for the marathon, but I hate carrying this with me, so most of the time I don't take any. I would always stop at water stops on the longer race courses, but I've read so many things that if you are only running a 5K (maybe even a 10K) that your body doesn't really have time to process the water you are consuming during that short of a race, so it is more important to be hydrated before and to re-hydrate when you're done. I drink mostly water during the day anyway, so I'm usually relatively well hydrated. LOL

I did both the Philly and Pittsburgh marathon. I'd highly recommend either. For ultras, I did the Pine Creek Challenge in Wellsboro. It's a flat course, low-key event, and a really good for first-time ultrarunners. It also has a marathon, 50m and 100m options.

Do i take before Gym ??..Thank you 😊

That song! and those dance moves! Love it!

I'm always hungry when I'm training, and bananas are my go-to snack. They're a good source of potassium, and they taste great.

First!!!❤❤❤

Thanks for the update, RGG! I'm really sorry to hear that you're still having hamstring troubles. I hope you get to the, um, "bottom" of that as you say.🤣It sounds like you've got plenty of other things to keep yourself occupied in the meantime, and I wouldn't think that the weather is any friendlier for running where you are than it is here in NC. My running mileage came up a bit short in June mostly because the conditions were so steamy and I had to slow it down a lot. But I ran for over 2000 minutes which I'll accept as a proxy for distance just this once, and generally it's going pretty well here. All the best for July!

That's a great list of races, and all across the state! Every race should have Gritty as its mascot.😄I don't remember seeing you run a race in PA yet. Do you have one picked out?

Keep up the great content. Super excited to hear what is going to happen in October. Starting my first full marathon training this month.

First!

WoW! That’s Awesome! I Loved it! 🤩❤️✨

Glad I ran the LoveRun Half before this video… I would’ve had a hard time choosing one! Love this series!

Philadelphia Marathon is a GREAT race and so is the half. I like Philly Half more than Love Run.

Watching this now. Excited to see what you picked in my home state

Love these!

I can not see the amount of money on the screen ò my phone, how to show it?

Great information RGG. It looked like that one of those birds was walking with a limp

Glad the Kayano’s are working for you!!! You might like the GT 2000 as well. Asics improved the grip in the Gel Nimbus 26!

LOVE THIS 😍!!! 💯

Great review! I might give this a try 🤔

Congratulations on a smart and well-educated race, Heather! On a super muddy course with the humidity, no less 👏

I always wanted to do Mt. Hood 50, and the Hood to Coast Relay looks fun too. Great list, thanks for researching and sharing it, Heather!

RGG Fun Fact: The “Live Laugh Love” sign you see hanging up was given to me as a gift when I directed a show at a local theater. The cast all signed the back and I hung it up because it makes me smile, especially since a couple of those cast members are no longer around. I have memorabilia from quite a few shows I’ve done all over the house!

Nicely done, RGG! I always enjoy these videos.

I like number 3. I didn't know it was 100kcals/hr. 👌

Three out of ten isn't bad...is it?

So close to 1k 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nice review. I used to wear Kayanos for years and years. Then I switched to Hoka and have surfed lots of different shoes ever since but have never went back to Asics. Maybe I should.

Love this ❤❤❤❤❤

Love this!

You're doing better than I did! My last 33K trail race BROKE me. I'm only now getting back into running regularly, and the race was in April!

Good insights, Heather. I do love a maintenance week where you just get to chill on all activities.

As a precision fuel user, good to know that it what it says it is.

What I do is to take complete rest. For how long it would depend on the length of the race I just finished.

I find it unconscionable that SE doesn't hold itself accountable and deflects with "apologizing for the error" and that "some batches became diluted." WOW. They either didn't have a quality control process in manufacturing, or they did and were aware of the problems. Both are inexcusable. Unfortunately, nutritional supplements are not regulated by the FDA, and one of a few reasons I don't use them. Thanks for your series and shining a light on these issues.
