Not so much of an issue with running. What challenges me is the excessive, hideous summer heat. We have a good 3-4 months of 100+ temps daily.<br /><br />I actually stopped eating on my long runs as per the suggestion of my coach, who still runs 3:30ish marathons at age 72 and doesn't eat on his runs.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928994787907817674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-13890840066374166302011-09-08T13:47:43.765-05:002011-09-08T13:47:43.765-05:00After running my entire marathon in the rain I avo...After running my entire marathon in the rain I avoid running in the rain whenever possible. That was just miserable before! <br /><br />I also don't like running in extreme heat or extreme cold. The spring/fall running temperatures are my favourite!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-64848826033079199262011-09-08T13:13:18.487-05:002011-09-08T13:13:18.487-05:00I hate running in rain or wind, the wind because i...I hate running in rain or wind, the wind because it fatigues me and the rain, well, because it's mostly accompanied by thunder here and then lightning. <br />Hills on the other hand don't bother me that much. In our town there are bunches of them, no place where it's flat. It used to bother me, and then I started racing around Florida..feels very nice to pass everyone up the hill....<br />I usually jsut use Gu on long runs, 1 every 5 miles or so...but...then I am never hungry afterwards...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-88512465885852576732011-09-08T09:44:11.713-05:002011-09-08T09:44:11.713-05:00I absolutely LOVE running in the rain!

Purely just because it was raining! I ran last Saturday afternoon right as Lee was hitting. Nobody was out, the rain was coming down, it was so peaceful!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358371880194320632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-91710068780550479622011-09-08T09:14:31.034-05:002011-09-08T09:14:31.034-05:00I don't really like running in the rain, since...I don't really like running in the rain, since I hate having wet socks! Then they start to rub on my feet etc. <br /><br />As for food, I am still learning what to eat, but I get tired pretty easily, so I am pretty sure I need to eat MORE before running. I have never eaten anything WHILE running. And I am usually not hungry afterwards, for at least an hour. <br /><br />I miss running in Audubon park, but I don't miss those WET summers!Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.com
