Went for a 5km jog at 4pm today in Cambodia (90 degree heat) and my girlfriend got muscle cramps the same as yesterday. She stopped and then went jogging at around 5pm with no problems. Started to eat more salt due to the sweating like a pig at the end of it (englishman). My legs never feel that great either jogging in the heat, but i've got a bad back anyway.
Also, she's been jogging like this for awile now but got abit disheartened that she hasn't lost any weight (although she only weighs 50kgs). She's well pissed off about that.
I'm abit worried she's gonna pack it in, but i reckon she should just run abit later and she'll be fine.
Is the above normal? I thought we might just be a couple of lightweights but then today i read they banned distance running in Florida during the summer because of the heat so maybe we aint that bad.
Is there a limit one should run at certain temperatures for normal non athlete fokes like us?
Cheers
