Heat Stress Index
Heat stress index blends temperature and humidity to gauge workout risk—adjust pace, fluids, and timing when index is high.
Heat stress index combines temperature, humidity, and sun exposure to gauge workout risk—high index means lower pace targets and more fluids and electrolytes. Acclimation over seven to fourteen days lowers perceived strain but does not eliminate caution.
Move hard sessions to cooler hours when index spikes.
