Right now temps during the men's 10k are supposed to be between 89-90 degrees with the real-feel a few degrees higher from humidity. Likely going to be a battle of attrition and wouldn't be surprised to see a winning time over 28 mins here. Good news is I think this could bode well for Kincaid and Klecker but that of course assumes they can survive the heat.

Yes it is going to be brutal. Not only is it super hot, but the race is going to be run in the sun. The athletes may get some shade from the roof, but it's starting at 6:25 local time and the sun doesn't set until 7:47.
Why is the race so early? Today is a national holiday in Hungary and organizers wanted to end the meet early so that everyone can see the fireworks at 9 p.m.
I agree that the heat could help the Americans but they didn't handle it all that great in Tokyo two years ago. I think Kincaid and Klecker are much better runners now in 2023 though.

Yeah, I'm in Budapest right know and it's hot asf. There's going to be some major carnage in the 10k. Although might turn into a kickers race favoring Woody.

Klecker talked about training in layers to heat train for this on the coffe club podcast. Did it before Tokyo too
In Illinois it was 91 and 85% humidity today. It's been over 100 much of the summer on the West coast and hotter than that in the Southwest. How can an athlete NOT be prepared for 90 and low humidity when that is their only job? People gone soft. (And no I'm not referring to the actual racers that just went out and banged today with no complaints or excuses.)

You posted a link with ZERO context and called me lazy. Sure that’s letsrun logic.
Meanwhile I’m used to drugmo being very confidently wrong all the time so his “doubt” doesn’t bother me. But if anyone wants to bet on a 114 real feel in Illinois I’m happy to go as deep as y’all want. I might just post it anyway because I love embarrassing drugmo.
