Has anyone here acclimated to running on hot pavement?
Does anyone here have issues with it?
I don't like the idea of having to wear a shoe for running in the middle of the day because of hot tarmac...seems like the foot should be able to acclimate to it, after all, my dog can run on it just fine, (and frankly my pads feel tougher than my dogs feet pads at this point) and the Indians in Mexico that run all day across the desert STG seem to do okay...so it seems it is possible for the foot to adapt to all but the most extremely hot pavement.
Has anyone got any tips?
I am spending a minute or so a day walking on the black asphalt in the hottest part of the afternoon, and will very slowly increase the time to avoid injury, and see if my feet can adapt to it.
If anyone has any tips they would be much appreciated
