* [[Perceived Temperature For Runners]] (An experimental chart)
→Important caveats
This page gives details of the mathematical model of the heat generated and lost while running. This model is used in a number of calculators:* [[Perceived Temperature For Runners]]* [[Heat limited running pace]]* [[Optimum Running Temperature]]Other calculators may be added in the future.
=Basic Heat Calculation=
The basic heat calculation is from
* The calculations assume negligible clothing. If you are wearing more than the absolute minimum clothing, this will impair your ability to cool off.
* It is possible to actively cool off with ice, which will allow you to tolerate higher temperatures.
* Any direct sun will increase the heat stress and dark clothing will make this worse. * Remember that [[All models are wrong]].
=Advanced notes on calculations=
These notes are for those with an interest in the underlying details.
