Today I thought I'd try out my knee and see if it was ready for a run. I walked for 15 minutes along the beach, then starting running (really more jogging). I ran for 20 minutes out then 20 minutes back with a 15 minute walk at the end. I was REALLY happy to get out running again. I'm estimating about 6k or so. Slow but successful!
It was incredibly hot here today. I'm guessing about 100-102 degrees. My heart rate was about 90-95 for the walk and during the run stayed around 120 for the first half of the run then 125 to 135 during the second half. I was really starting to heat up and at the end of the run, when I started walking the heart rate stayed at 120 through the walk.
I'm thinking if I'm going to run in this heat, I need to get well hydrated before hand. I'm wondering what others do on long runs in heat? Do they carry water?

Glad to see you back running. I always carry a bottle, even on the shortest run. I even carry one during races and just top up as I go round ... like a comfort blanket I think. I just feel happier knowing it is there
