General fitness will contribute to how well your body does in the heat.
If you are out running and you feel tired and need to stop, do not hang your head. The hottest air will be radiating closest to that thick, black tarmac. Putting your head near it will only make you feel worse. You need to stand up, walk, find some shade and, if possible, some liquid.
But remember train too much in the heat and your performance will suffer because you will exhaust too quickly to get the cardiovascular benefits. General fitness as well as getting your resting and active heart rate down, will contribute to your body’s ability to withstand and adapt to higher temperatures. A higher heart rate means that your body is burning more calories, and that creates heat.
