Brooks is really great about returns so I just ordered a lot of different styles/sizes and kept the two that actually fit
. Fortunately, I’ve only experienced anaphylaxis once. Unfortunately, despite multiple allergen tests, we have no idea what triggered it. This means there’s nothing I can do to avoid it and I spend more time than most wondering if my hands are swelling and/or itchy while running.

Having a doctor who is also a runner goes a long way. My ER doctor became my cardio guy by default. During one of my appointments I was asking how long would I need to take certain medications and what his thoughts are about running. He wanted me on medication for a year and no runs over 45 minutes. Neither of those are the responses I thought I would hear and very shortly after I found a cardio guy who is a runner. Main thing here is finding a doctor who understands your goals and if they say nope, then you just have to kinda live with it. Yet, if theres a way, the will tell you how.
I took mine last marathon weekend in my carry-on. (Through El paso and MCO)
we took our mini (off-brand) to MW this past January. And I think we took our bigger one the year before. Shouldn't be an issue.
The best way to mitigate the heat is to slow down. Many of us use the combination of temperature and dew point (T+D) as a guide to how much we need to slow down. Beyond that, be sure to take in enough fluids in the heat, but there's not a lot to be done other than endure.So, I think I already know the answer to this question, but I wanted to get some feedback anyway, especially from @DopeyBadger.
As some of you know, I live in Orlando, aka "the outside is like a sauna at least six months out of the year." Today was my first hour-long run with my new Garmin and the ability to track my heart rate is fabulous! However, I wasn't running much faster than I usually do during my run intervals and even after I deliberately slowed my pace, my heartrate still creeped into Zone 3 every time I ran, forcing me to flip my intervals (from 60/30 to 30/60) to get it into Zone 2. I'm assuming this is because of the heat and humidity - am I right? I drink water when I run and try to run along a shady path in my neighborhood - is there anything else I can do to mitigate the heat? I don't mind switching to the treadmill for shorter runs but I really prefer the longer ones outside. I also can't run any earlier than I do, because I have to get my son ready for school. (And I cannot get up before 6 am or I will be a cranky monster all day.) So I guess what I'm wondering is, will the run still be beneficial to me if I keep doing 30/60 intervals during "hot as hell" season? (I am assuming yes, but I am self-conscious of my slow pace and really want to improve my fitness.) Or should I cap runs at 30 minutes during the summer and wait until it's more comfortable again to run longer?
Thanks for listening to my vent.

In addition to what others have said already, remember that easy pace isn't supposed to be an indicator of your fitness. Emphasis on the EASY, not the paceSo, I think I already know the answer to this question, but I wanted to get some feedback anyway, especially from @DopeyBadger.

You should use whatever pace/intervals feel easy to you, meaning your breathing is relaxed and smooth - no huffing and puffing! - you could speak in complete sentences or even sing a little, and you feel like you could keep going indefinitely.

Because easy is about effort rather than pace, lots of things will affect what your pace looks like from day to day. Weather, for sure, but also how you slept and whether you feel a little sniffly and if you might be running up or down a hill (probably not in Orlando lol). And just because your easy pace on a particular day, or even for the whole summer, might be slower, that doesn't mean you're less fit. It just means you're doing a good job recognizing what an easy effort looks like for you and sticking to it, no matter what the output (pace) says.
