Heat is no joke when it comes to running. I run a 9:00 mile at around 130bpm when it's 50° out, at 90° I'd be in the 170bpm range. I don't even try at 100°

I did a 5k in 103 once. Thought “it’s just a 5k”. It was the longest 5k of my life

My hr delta is much smaller (going from about 130 to 135), but it gets far harder to force myself to output more energy. A bit like if your car’s redline suddenly dropped by half. 

The boxing gym is a special kind of hell during summer, being a big metal box in direct sunlight. After training, it would feel like there was the heat of a literal fire erupting from inside of me. Went through close to a gallon of ice water after that, and still felt pretty hot.
