Acclimation is the Key to Summer Survival

Are you training for a fall marathon? If you started training in the spring but are new to running, you may be in for a surprise when the summer heat kicks in.

The best way to manage long training runs in the summer is to acclimate yourself to the heat with some shorter runs. If your training schedule calls for 13 miles and it is a hot day, go for 10 instead, to get used to the heat, and then do the 13 the next week.
