The heat at the world championships has led to muscle cramps and dehydration on the track, and a bit of reshuffling of the schedule. Earlier this week, the heats of the women’s 5,000-meter races — a grueling 12 1/2 trips around the track — were moved from the sizzle of the day to a cooler evening session.— Four years ago, the worlds in Qatar were held in October in a nod to the desert climate; marathons at those championships were set for midnight.
“This is a challenge that isn’t going to go away,” Coe said. “I’m always concerned about the welfare of the athletes. About 75% of our athletes actually will tell you that global warming and climate change has, in one way or another, impacted on their competitive and training programs.” The cooling ice vests have long been popular in track circles, especially among distance runners. Keeping cool before a race makes a big difference, too.
In Doha, 53% of athletes used ice vests, according to research provided by the health and science department at World Athletics.
