Has anyone tried pre-cooling to improve running in the heat and if you have did it work ?

I haven't tried it but I like the idea of eating a slush puppy before a run!!! :-)

Haven't tried any of those tips, but I think I will give the 'towel' thing a go if I'm brave enough. Thank you for sharing.

Love the whole frozen towel thing going on there...trouble is my freezer is broken. Might send the kids up to the corner shop to get me a couple of ice pops which could be just as fun

That sounds really 'cool' (sorry!). I have got to try this, both the towels and an ice-pop. The heat is killing me, I can't cope with heat at the best of times; running in it is the worst! :(
