Vicksta Oct 2008 11:45am, 14 Oct 2008 3,417 posts	0 Vicksta I would like to know how the elites do it as well. A particularly unpleasant colleague said to me after the Rotterdam Marathon 2007 (32 degrees) 'Heat doesn't make a difference to your time, cos the elites finish in the same time as usual' I didn't really have an answer other than, 'well they train in heat, and also they are out in the heat for half the time!'

SarahL Oct 2008 11:47am, 14 Oct 2008 5,878 posts	0 SarahL Vicksta the elites were slower than normal. Last year in the heat I think the winning woman did 2.33! And this year it was 2.27. Slow by elite womens standards. Tell your colleague that (just before you punch them!!!)
