Higher than 104 degrees:
No-brainer: Move it indoors, because you're at severe risk of heat-related illness, including heatstroke. (A 100-degree day with just 40 percent humidity will feel like 109 degrees.)
Between 91 and 103 degrees:
Exercise early in the morning, when it's coolest, and keep your workout superlight, suggests Brian Rosetti, a running coach and the founder of the Run S.M.A.R.T. Project.
Between 80 and 90 degrees:
Keep workouts shorter than usual and moderate, like this routine from Rosetti.
0 to 10 minutes: Jog at an easy, conversational pace.
10 to 15 minutes: Run at a harder pace (90 percent of maximum heart rate) for 30 seconds, followed by a 30-second recovery jog. Repeat four times.
15 to 25 minutes: Jog at an easy, conversational pace.
79 degrees or lower:
Save your long or most challenging runs for these milder days.
