Boston way too early weather

It’s gonna be a hot one!

Bring it on. The hotter the better. Another run for the hoses for the older crowd.

Heatwave incoming.

nope, impossible. letsrunners dont believe in global warming. a fluke.

Eh, I’ll deal with it like we will all have to but I am not looking forward to it. It’s been a brutal winter here. In fact, I did my run yesterday in the midst of a snow storm and it was 19 degrees this AM here.

So, it will be tough as it is looking like it could be 80+ degrees on 4/17. I will definitely dial back my expectations and pace.

Huh did not know of a 17th month. Or maybe your way of writing dates is just crap. lol

Still won’t even be as close to the insane heat wave of 2012. 97 degrees at the start.

Ha! You must be from Europe…or basically anywhere that isn’t the US. It’s standard in the US to write the month first, the day second when expressing dates as numbers.

I wouldn't exactly call that hot. Starting temp will be 60 or under, some of the race might be low 60's.

I missed 2012.

^^ And weather channel says high 66 low 51 now. Still not hot

Across 3 weather apps I see an average low of 53 and high of 65 for April 17th, with winds shifting from WSW to S. Maybe they are looking at Boston, Georgia.

Predicting the weather now is a fool's errand. Save your energy. Stay hydrated. If you've practiced your downhill running, you'll be fine.

My phone app is currently listing the high to be 87 degrees on the Friday beforehand...

That would suck. It was 59 here in Boston the other day and I think that’s about the warmest we have had so far this year

L + ratio

That was why I posted it to begin with. I will roast if it’s over 60 because all of my training has been below 40.

Hmmmm, and no hill training? Up or down? How about long runs? Have you prepped at all for what you might expect at Boston?

Maybe it's not hot but it's not ideal. Most runners will have trained in cooler temps all winter and won't be adjusted to the warmer temps. If it starts in the 60s & gets close to 70, that requires a pacing adjustment. Anything over ~55 degrees would tell me to dial it back. Then factor in humidity/wind. Maybe it'll be similar to the fall race. It was 60-65 with humidity. I think some people were surprised with how much trouble they had in those conditions.
