How to Tweak Your Workouts as the World Gets Hotter →
Crisp, cool weather should be one of the perks of a fall marathon, but in Chicago last October 10, the conditions felt more like a curse: humidity hovering at a muggy 80 percent and a high temp nearing 80. It was the warmest start to the Chicago Marathon since 2007, a year so brutal that hundreds of runners suffered heat issues, including heatstroke, causing race officials to shut down the event. Thankfully, the 2021 race went off as planned, but for many of the 35,000-odd runners—including me—the struggles were still real. At what felt like every mile, I saw people hunched over aid stations and kneeling at medical tents, dealing with cramps, dehydration, and other heat-related maladies. Even after months of training in one of the hottest summers on record, these athletes were no match for the sweltering temperatures. |

| The Diet and Workout That Helped This Man Lose Over 50 Pounds in a Year |
→ Terence Tan never really hit the gym much. Growing up on the "nerdy and geeky" side of things, he had virtually no experience with weight training prior to his weight-loss transformation. Like many others who begin a similar journey, the 37-year-old Singapore man had spent most of his life overweight, and he had reached his breaking point. "Physically, I was at the worst point in my life, having hit the heaviest weight that I had ever been," he says. "Mentally, it wasn’t much better, due to previous attempts at weight loss having failed spectacularly." Before Tan found something that worked for him, he tried an all liquid, low caloric diet—as well as intermittent fasting. However, every time, he would only see minimal progress before things became too difficult and the weight would ultimately return. |
