an amazing likeness
Nowadays we have a ton of useful gadgets that give us feed back for our running. Olympic level athletes can even have their cortisol levels monitored. What I want to know about I think would be extremely significant and should be relatively easy to do technologically. Is there any device for a novice athlete to keep track of his/her core body temperature while exercising? If there isn't I think there should be. I would tell you alot about how hard you are working, how many calories you are burning, how effectively your body is cooling itself, I also suppose it would even shed light on your level of hydration.

Umm but wouldn't that hurt my stride butt?
Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

No. It would not. Too many confounders AND your body is incredibly good at keeping your temperature stable when not ill or overexposed to the elements.

I have run before in a driving 40 degree rain with wind. When I got home I believe my CBT was ~89 or so. Got home, could barely run, could not move and was gray in the face. After warming up in the hot shower for 10 minutes, only then did I start shivering. I did not think th check my temperature, but based on symptoms I seemed to match that temp from textbooks.

I almost never shiver while running. I think that when we run we are asking our bodies to do a very specific task (and a task that our bodies probably associates with running away from a predator or running after prey, i.e., very important) and so our bodies do that one thing and only when we stop and relax do we start to shiver. I often shiver in hot showers after winter runs as I recalibrate.
On that day did you ever shiver while running?
I am just trying to figure out if you know you are loosing body heat or not. I like to run in the low 40s with shorts and short sleeves, it feels really chilly when I start but it always feels good latter in the run. I even get a decent sweat going. Is my body temp dropping and I don't know it I wounder?
