Have you ever headed out for what was supposed to be an easy run on a 70-degree day and felt like you were running through soup?

The issue probably wasn’t the temperature. It was the humidity - or more specifically, the dew point.

In this episode of Coach Quip we’re going to explain
- what humidity and dew point mean
- which one runners should pay attention to
- how both affect your pace and effort
- and how to adjust your training so you stop fighting the weather and start training smarter
