Field note: heat is the fourth sport

If you train here, you already know. If you are flying in for a race, you do not. Honolulu humidity is not a vibe. It is a fourth discipline. It changes what you can eat, when you can run, and how honest your easy pace is.

We do not sell electrolytes. We do drink water and we do take salt when the day is stupid. We do not start long runs at noon to prove toughness. Dawn is not aesthetic. Dawn is the only temperature that lets the work happen.

Honu in June is a clinic in this. The lava does not shade you. The run does not cool you. Whatever you practiced in a garage fan is a rumor.

Do: shift the long stuff earlier. Don’t: copy a mainland plan and add a thumbs-up emoji. The island will bill you for it on the run.
