So settle into your chair or get comfortable sitting in traffic or get started on your hike or walk and press play. You'll learn about the importance of the when, where and why of your runs on hot days. You'll also hear about the power of adjustments, the benefits of a great running hat, how sunglasses can keep "Deniro" face away, and why respecting the run on extreme weather days will lead to respecting the runner.
