    The document discusses heat stress during running as related to both temperature and humidity, as measured by the humidex chart. It notes that a day with a mild 26°C temperature but high 80% relative humidity could feel equivalent to 35°C and result in greater heat stress than a 30°C day with low humidity. It advises runners to take necessary precautions like reducing their pace by 20-40 seconds per mile on high humidex value days to prevent heat-related conditions.

    HEAT STRESS HUMIDEX CHART

    Courtesy: http://accuracyproject.org/humidex.jpg

    Heat stress during running is related to temperature and humidity. The humidex chart is a heat stress indicator So, if the temperature is a mild 26oC, but the relative humidity is 80%, it could feel like it is 35oC, so the heat stress for this day would be greater than a 30oC day with low humidity!! Thus, the necessary precautions must be taken to prevent heat related conditions. Reduce your pace by 20-40 seconds/mile for days with high humidex values
