Running

I experienced heat edema for the first time yesterday during a hike. The temperature was 103°F, and around 4.5 miles into the hike, my fingers swelled up and looked like hotdogs. I was out for about three hours and drank around two liters of water. The swelling went down once I got into the shade and cooled off a bit.

high temp + high altitude = 🥵
hope you fully recovered now.

I’m usually out before the heat hits, but I wanted to push my limits a little yesterday. I thought that since I was walking, I’d be fine, but that heat was gnarly.

glad you are ok. the heat is brutal. 5am-5:30am runs for me to beat the heat. thankfully, LA will cool off by end of the week.

It was really wild… my first time ever experiencing something like that. I thought I was going to be fine in the heat since I was hiking and not running

Probably wasn't the smartest thing, but i was trying to get some heat training.

Glad you’re ok! You’re absolutely insane for hiking in this heat
