The forecast looked fine. The run did not.

Temperature alone does not explain a hard run. Heat, dew point, wind, and timing all change how a run feels, but most weather apps leave runners to guess.

Why was 7 am easy and 2 pm hard?

Same route, same legs. On this Austin day the weather adds 2 seconds a mile at 7 am and 41 seconds a mile at 2 pm.

When should I go?

Every hour gets a Run Score. That day’s best was 7 am at 94.

RunWeather Today in Austin at 7 am: Run Score 94, great day to run

7 am · score 94

RunWeather next 24 hours in Austin: at 2 pm the score drops to 56 and the weather adds 41 seconds a mile

2 pm · +0:41 /mi

Why does 82°F feel this hard?

Sun and humidity count as much as the thermometer. Tap any hour and the app shows what’s against you and how much slower the same effort runs. On that Austin afternoon: 6.8%.

Why this score: 57 out of 100, 6.8% slower for the same effort, temperature is the biggest drag
