I have been struggling with mental toughness for a while. I run in 90+ degrees and often overheat, but I push myself thinking that I am better than this and won't stop. What do you guys do to run your best?

Pure hate, you have find that hate from somewhere and it needs to be pure.
Well, my goodness you have shown yourself you are tough and disciplined.
When I was racing I had goals. Immediate attainable goals and some a little far reaching and some a homerun to the moon.
However, for me all would have not happened if I didn't believe that one day , one race I may have the perfect day. I never gave up and strived for the homerun.
Even now, I'm thinking in those terms as I prepare myself to train.
I think it's the same for everybody not just certain people. Set goals, prepare to achieve the goals you set for yourself. Notice I mention you set for yourself, not depending on somebody to set them for you. Develop your self discipline and self determination, have gumption.
Are ou doing a you can to be a better performer? Doing core work eating well, sleeping, not overtraining, having a good attitude? For me I found that it took more than pushing myself out the door to run during a heat wave, or during sub zero temps, pouring rain, doing track workouts alone, hill workouts alone, long runs alone.
I went after pr's. So maybe you could go after yours and set new ones and challenge yourself. You may be surprised.
