I believe Galloway's formula is that if the temperature hits 70 you should slow your pace by 1 minute per mile. If it hits 80, then slow down another minute per mile.
I also remember seeing some other formula in the past that took into account temperature and humidity. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on that.
We are in corral H, so at least we will be able to run the first 90 minutes or so with no sun. Our goal is to finish in 5 hours. Taking into account that we will probably run more than 26.2, that is about an 11:15 pace. I do not think that is pushing ourselves too much.
We have the same goal!!
My last long run was 23 miles here in FL, and by the end it was about 80 degrees. I was able to keep my pace at 11:15 in that heat and humidity. I think it REALLY helped getting a good amount of miles in before the sun came out in force.
I'll be in Corral J, and hoping for some cloudy skies for as long as possible!!
Good luck everyone!
