I have just returned from 5 days up at Trinity Beach (north of Cairns). Let me say that running up there in the humidity is hard bloody work!
The first morning I went out for 1/2 hour and it was a huge struggle with my breathing the entire way. The second day seemed a little easier, but even just a 50 minute run with a couple of hill repeats left me totally spent.
On my birthday (8th January) I had the guys drop me off at the local gym where I did a solid workout in lovely air-conditioned comfort!!! I freely admit that I was becomming very uptight that I couldn't run properly in the heat and I hate the feeling I have when I don't exercise.
Treadmill: After a 3km warm up (ha) of steady running I did 8 x 800 at sub-4min pace (quick for me) with 2 min recovery in between. Even with an air-conditioning unit blowing directly on me I was drenched in sweat. Followed this with 100 sit-ups and about 20 minutes of light weights. A nice an easy 2k jog back to the house in light rain and I was happier than I had ever been!
Dinner that night never tasted so good!
