While runners tend to watch the temperature trends in the forecast, fewer runners remember to pay attention to another critical component of the weather conditionsβhumidity.
Running in humidity can be even more difficult than running in the heat, and itβs actually the combination of the two, both being high, that really makes running tough.
The runnerβs high is real β that exhilarating, if not euphoric feeling which you can reach simply through running is not something your trainer made up to convince you to keep running.
Everyone has heard of the runnerβs high, but itβs often treated as a myth β something intangible and unproven.

In todayβs episode, Brady and Thomas walk through 30 of the most popular running metrics - whether it's weekly volume, cadence, HRV, or VO2 Max - discuss the merit of each one and attempt to sort them into three buckets: Optimize, Track, or Ignore!
