#[2] , I was very worried, two nights ago. I stopped speaking, I was so hot.

One lesson from this challenge is knowing your limits and choosing when and how to push through. Like if you are dealthly ill, choosing to restart is ok. You know the tradeoff. Dont kill yourself with heat. Once you get heat exhaustion, it is easier to get it. This is why my outside workout is in the early am right now. If it is too hot to safely row in the afternoon, i do pilates inside.
If that is not an option, i do a shaded workout and adjust intensity for the situation.
I also have discovered i have a knee problem so i am doing low impact. I have seen what happens to people who overwork already damaged joints when they get older. My next step is to find out what the knee issue is so I can choose how to address it.
The heat was an issue for my when I was working. I had to load and deliver two loads of bio, which takes longer to load (under direct sunlight) and longer to unload (same conditions).
I’ve been lucky on the workout front and happy to switch up my plan. Just today, my run was without the weight vest and sweatshirt, it felt pretty good.
That is one of the beauties of the breathing method, I’m strengthening parts of myself and simultaneously recovering other parts (simple stretches during the over-oxegenating cycle).
Re: the knee. I’m sorry, I hate that. I do love it when my Chiro gives some traction to a joint and releases the tension or puts it back into alignment. I can’t recommend that, enough.
