The TandaPredictor marathon pace predictor has been updated. It's a really useful tool - take a look and see how your training volume and intensity can predict your future marathon race pace.

Great to see some exposure of the benefits of training hot courtesy of @sweatscience; Why runners shouldn't sweat summer training https://t.co/WpYzkso8Ur #FoxNews; arguably maintaining the distance but reducing the pace might be preferable for hot weather training
@BBCr4today interesting piece today with Stephanie Payne; good news - you can improve sweat rate with acclimation training, and measure the change with @KuduSmart (developed at University of Cambridge); you can't grow more sweat glands but you can make them bigger
#RT@AthleticsWeekly: .@TomEvansUltra made his mark at last month's Trail World Championships β with individual bronze and team silver for GB β and he hopes it will act as a springboard to success on a variety of terrains in future β‘οΈ https://t.co/Id6pvS8uup #ultrarunning
A big thank you to Josh Sambrook for his time at @KuduSmart - added loads of value during his internship. Good luck with year 3 of the sports science & physiology degree at @ScienceLeeds.
Congratulations to Dr Christof Schwiening @CSchwiening for a great sub 3 hour time in the @LondonMarathon (2:58:31) - great pacing. The @KuduSmart thermoregulatory training obviously paid off in the record hot conditions.
and for those running at slower pace - there may be more risk in over hydration (hyponatremia - depletion of sodium) than dehydration; so regular but controlled levels of fluid intake, including gels or sports drink as appropriate
Weather for #LondonMarathon likely a little cooler than expected but it'll still be tough. Time to build hydration is now. Core body temperatures are going to be high - review pace strategy and take any opportunity to get cool; run in the shade, splash water on etc
