About this document
Heat Stress and Humidex Chart by Jer Fortz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses heat stress during running as related to both temperature and humidity, as measured by the humidex chart. It notes that a day with a mild 26°C temperature but high 80% relative humidity could feel equivalent to 35°C and result in greater heat stress than a 30°C day with low humidity. It advises runners to take necessary precautions like reducing their pace by 20-40 seconds per mile on high humidex value days to prevent heat-related conditions.
