Thought I'd share with you guys what he said when I asked about whether he likes running in the heat.
Question: Do you like the heat?
Ryan: I don’t think anyone likes the heat. (laughing) I do think there are a couple guys. I don’t think it’ll be too bad. I’ve been running the same time that the race would be going on, during the last couple days and it’s been the same temperatures that we would expect on race day. It’s not too bad in Santa Monica. We’re talking mid-70s, which are the same conditions when I ran 2:08 in London. It’s not like Beijing where it’s going to be a massive factor for us. It might be for the people that will be finishing at 11 o’clock or 12 o’clock in the day. It’s gonna be getting warm by then for sure.
Question: What was the weather like in Ethiopia?
Ryan: It was during their dry season, but their temperature doesn't really change. It's kind of similar to here. Low's in the 50s, high's in the 70s. I'm just glad we don't have humidity here. That would be something that really effects me since I'm not used to that at all.
