Do you have hot yoga near you? I started doing that a few months before my marathon - originally just as cross training and escaping the frozen tundra of outdoor workouts in Minnesota. But it turned out to be amazing, because the temps got into the mid-80s at WDW that January. It made the heat manageable for me. But if that's not an option, can you do some kind of exercise indoors (treadmill, aerobics class...)? That should be in the 68 degrees range.Morning all, We've had a sudden drop in the temperature in the uk, autumn is definitely here! It's got me thinking about training for a marathon through the winter for a marathon that could take place in temperatures of around 68 degrees. The average temp in London during most of my training will be around 40 degrees (colder if the wind and rain get up). That's a pretty big swing and from past experience I know that a sudden increase in heat on race day can have adverse effects on my time. Anyone got any training methods to combat this? I've tried running in a sweatsuit in the past but frankly anything over a 10km it becomes pretty foul.... Any suggestions welcome because I do think I'm going to find that temperature swing a killer in January... Not that I'll be complaining for the rest of the holiday! Cheers
