I’ve always loved the heat. My best 100k’s and 50 milers were when temperatures hit the mid 90’s F.
And this was at elevation. I drank plenty, used electrolytes and was able to eat. But others that a ran with for many years really wilted in the heat.
When I was competing a lot, I also had a construction business, so much of the summer I was outdoors in shorts and a tank top.
Now that I work more in a climate controlled office, the heat gets to me more than before.
I think is a lot acclimation and also a lot of individual makeup.
