There was a guy in Perth years back that was running during the day in 35C or thereabouts.

He cooked himself and is now basically a cripple.

His body did its best to protect the vitals but not much else survived.

If you must run - run on grass or sand. Uphill like Ian K mentioned is good to,just remember to walk back down.

What this shows is that you should ask running questions on a running forum

What about vibram barefoot shoes and running on the balls of your feet? Its the way nature intended.

...


Vibram got sued and had to pay out $3.75 million in compensation for making false claims about their shoes. I tried a pair of 5 Fingers and they were the worst things.

Yup - when they run a race in anything more than 35deg, watch all the competitors just die, live on TV.
All the time we see people looking like hamburgers, totally cooked on the track at the stadium.


Pete, stop listening to rumours then beefing them up and posting on seabreeze like it is medical facts.

It does happen from time to time. Runners know about it.

Those stories just go to show how determined some people can be over the most pointless task. When your head starts spinning and your legs are burning from physical effort it's time to stop.
