You may want to try to find a cooler, and perhaps easier, running route. Choose those streets, or roads, that are lined with shady trees, or buildings offering shade, on at least on one side of the street. You can check your local street directory or road map to find, or work out, your new running route. Perhaps you could even drive the route beforehand to ensure it does fit into your selection criteria, and then you will also be able to check the mileage quite accurately so that you will know how far you are going to run each time! This will be great in knowing your timing recording too.
You will most definitely need to hydrate with Vitalyte during these, or any, long periods of exercise, and it is absolutely critical to not only replace any fluids lost to sweat, but also the excreted electrolytes. By not doing so, can result in a very serious health condition called hyponatremia which, if left untreated, can lead to death. ( Hyponatremia is an electrolyte disturbance -a disturbance of the balance of salts in your blood - in which the sodium concentration in the plasma is lower than normal (hypo in Greek), specifically below 135 mEq/L. The large majority of cases of hyponatremia occurring in adults result from an excess amount or effect of the water retaining hormone known as Antidiuretic Hormone commonly abbreviated as ADH) - thanks again Wikipedia
