Are you decreasing the distance, while maintaining usual tempo, or the other way around?

I personally rather decrease the speed to keep my usual distance. Pack a camel back and keep on trucking.

Can’t wait for fall.

    My speed definitely drops by a lot in the summer. Fall is amazing because I always feel like I have superpowers, the same effort gets me so much more speed!

    On the worst days I’ve been wearing a vest running vest which I keep in the freezer and fill with handfuls of ice, but my personal circumstances force me to run in the heat of day so this may not be as needed if you just run at night.

      Exactly! When the temperature drops after summer, you get so much speed and stamina boost, that you feel like you can run to the end of the world.

        Wow. I am the complete opposite. I jog daily and feel miserable October thru June (and sometimes July). But in heatwaves (when the daily high reaches 90s-100s F (20s - 40s C)) I actually start to enjoy exercising and sometimes even wish I could work out longer.

        Then again, I usually work out in the morning. But I also enjoy workouts in high temps as well.
