Notes
74F 83%H 68DP, Had the lanyard that goes around my neck and holds my radio break in two while I was running. Earphone cord kept radio from smashing on the ground. May have to go to the backup radio for Saturday's Fargo marathon.
Interesting dew point observations: (Note today's run, temp + dew point = 142)
Temp+dew point of 90-100 is probably ideal, but anything below 130 is pretty much OK to go for the fast time…maybe 120 for say 1/2 marathon or above. Between 130-150 will see a gradual slowdown in pace, and if it’s above 150, forget pace altogether and just focus on finishing.
Here’s another poster’s way of looking at it that deals with dew point only (and the meteorologist agreed with it):
Dew point <55*F: Go for it!
Dew point in the 60s…it’ll be tough for racing, training runs OK
Dew point in the low 70s…hard training will be tough
Dew point in the upper 70s….anything other than a recovery run will be a struggle
Dew point in the 80s…even a recovery run is tough
