Lets say you have you have two run that both have the same perceived effort level. One run is relatively slow and easy while it is warm/hot out. The other would be a rather brisk run while the temperature is perfect for running.
What run would be more likely to produce stress that will lead to positive fitness gains? Which would be more likely to produce stress that might break the body down? |

sounds like a loaded question...
warm hot run works the body differently would't you think... presumably both work the heart the same... however one the heart is pumping blood to help cool the body... the other the muscles working harder...
My uneducated guess would be that the answer to your question is that the brisk run in the cool would be most likely to produce the biggest fitness gains... yet is the one that would also potentially break the body down more...
in my thought experiment I thought which one would take longer to recover from... hmm... easier run on hot day or tempo run on 50 degree day? well one a cold shower and a tall cold glass of your favorite libation does the trick... the other well perhaps takes longer to recover from.
