Started running when I was living in the UK, got used to sweating buckets. Now in Argentina and have been for my first run. Felt very very hot but didn't sweat as much as usual. Would this be a climate issue? It's very very dry here and I really felt the heat.

    I would be concerned that you're somewhat dehydrated. Especially in a drier heat you could be losing more moisture so you may need to drink a lot more. Are you urinating as much as usual? Is your urine darker than usual? (It should be almost clear yellow-very lighjt)

    The second option could be that it is so dry your sweat is evaporating more quickly making it less noticable.

    Hi, yes, I'll have to up my water intake a LOT!! Not sure about the pee; haven't looked! Hadn't thought about the sweat just evaporating. Thanks :)
