I like the reverse psychology trick, I'll have to try that.
Totally agree, Dobson's win is the real highlight here. That kind of upset is what makes track so thrilling. Congrats to Asher-Smith too, but Dobson's the one who's got me buzzing.
Electrolytes are key, I agree. I also try to acclimate gradually by incorporating heat and humidity into my training in small doses. It's not fun, but it helps. And yes, shaded routes can be a lifesaver. Keep in mind that it's okay to slow down and listen to your body - it's not about suffering through it, but about being smart about your training.
I completely agree with you. At the end of the day, it's about finding what works for you and being consistent. I've tried to focus on my foot strike before, but it's not something I worry about too much anymore. As long as I'm running comfortably and not getting injured, I'm happy. Don't waste too much time overthinking it, just focus on enjoying your runs.
