Looks pretty great, but I'm afraid that even January will be too hot in HK for me to run a marathon. Shanghai's late November marathon is just the right temperature.

@GarethLee01-tc2vc Every runner has a different 'ideal temperature'. This is completely personal. Some runners like it hotter, some like it colder. There is no 'perfect temperature' that suits all runners.

@GarethLee01-tc2vc You must not be an athlete, or even do any kind of outdoors activity. Temperature comfort is a personal matter. Surely, in your life you must have spoken with athletes who express differing views of what they consider 'the best' temperature for exercise. I actually quite enjoy running in sub-zero temperatures, though I wouldn't say it is ideal for me. On the other hand, anything above 26 C slows me down, and wears me down, quickly. I think the ideal for me is around 12 C.

@GarethLee01-tc2vc Ok, so then I advise you to read my original comment again. What I said was that it was too hot for ME, not that HK weather in January is too hot for everyone. Clearly, lots of people found the temperature to be perfect, I'm just not one of them.

@GarethLee01-tc2vc Thanks. That was long discussion for nothing, but there's no harm done.
