I know that like, five people have said this but....WATER. Hydrate and it should help. Also, mornings and nights will be cooler than mid morning.

In addition to the water intake (roughly 16 ounces per hour if it really hot), use something like PowerBar Electrolytes. They taste good and help you replace electrolytes.

I use them on 100 mile bike rides and long runs with great results.
