Found this interesting.. my usual pace is about 9 min/mile at the top end of zone 2 - about 130bps. Running last week in the UK and all was normal.

Running in Rio this week and it’s 30C and really humid, my heat rate has been doing this - the little drops are when I wiped sweat out of my eyes. Finding it really difficult to run.


Run above was totally flat pace just under 9mins.

When you get back to "normal" UK temps you'll probably find your HR will be lower off the back of this with the same effort. Some quality heat adaptations here.

Running at 30c is not even remotely easy.
