Exercising in extreme heat? Here are some things to keep in mind
INDIANAPOLIS — Central Indiana is expecting dangerous heat this week, but that’s not stopping some Hoosiers from getting outside to exercise.
“Got my music with me. Just feel the breeze, man,” Zavian Dean said.
Dean rides his bike from Broad Ripple to downtown Indianapolis every day.
“Took the Monon all the way down here. Ride around town. I’m headed back that way,” he said.
The severe weather isn’t stopping him from putting his foot to the pedal.
“I always carry some water with me. I say drink plenty of water before I even decide to run on the Monon,” he said.
Indiana is under a heat advisory until Friday night, with heat index values as high as 100 to 105 expected each day.
According to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS), overexposure to heat can be hazardous.
The state’s humid conditions can add to the discomfort and danger of high temperatures.

“If you haven’t had enough fluids, you could really start to develop symptoms of dehydration. A lot of times, this starts at just thirst. You can start to feel lightheaded, dizzy,” Dr. Joseph Richardville from Franciscan Physician Network Sports Medicine Specialists Indianapolis said. “Later symptoms could be racing heart rate. You’ll notice that you decrease sweating, that could be a sign that you’re really deficient in water, and you need to get some fluids in you quick.”
IDHS recommends the following to stay safe:
•Watch for heat-related illnesses and seek medical attention as necessary.
•Drink fluids regularly
•Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing
•Avoid strenuous activity

“If you wanna get a workout in, 6 a.m. is the time to do it,” Shaw said. “Avoid the hottest part of the day. I’m a morning workout person. I know it’s not always that easy for people to do, but if you can get up and get going before the sun is up or while it’s rising, one, it’s beautiful and two, you avoid the intense heat.”
Co-leader Molly Robb says it’s important to listen to your body.
“Recognize you’re not going to be able to do as much in the heat. Your mile time is not going to be as fast when it’s 95 degrees outside as it is when it’s 55 degrees outside,” Robb said.

Indianapolis police shot a homicide suspect after a vehicle pursuit that ended west of downtown near Interstate 70.
Just before 8:30 p.m. May 28, 2026 Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were dispatched to a shooting in the first block of North Rural Street. Arriving officers found Patricia Wieber, 65, with gunshot wounds. Wieber was pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital.
Witnesses were able to give police information about the shooter and officers tracked the suspect to the 7500 block of Bullock Court on the city’s south side. The suspect, identified by police as Ronald Cross, 75, got into a different vehicle with another man. While tracking that vehicle officers attempted a traffic stop near West Southport and Bluff roads. The driver, who is not implicated in the homicide, got out of the vehicle without incident and was taken into custody.
Police said Cross then slid into the vehicle’s driver seat and fled. Officers used stop sticks and then in the 1000 block of South Harding Street near I-70 a SWAT officer used a vehicle to perform a PIT maneuver to stop the SUV, said Kendale Adams, IMPD deputy chief of criminal investigations.
After the vehicle was stopped officers shot the suspect, Adams said. Cross was taken to the hospital in stable condition. No officers were injured.
Adams said two firearms were located at the scene.
During a news conference at the scene, Indianapolis police chief Tanya Terry extended her thoughts to the family of Wieber who was killed in what police believe was a domestic violence situation. She also praised her officers’ handling of the situation.
“[Our officers] did exactly what our community expects them do to in situations like this,” Terry said. “Our officers worked with bravery, coordination and precision in their attempts to safely bring the suspect into custody. I’m extremely proud of them for the work that they’ve done.”
The chief added that Cross would be facing charges in the case and police confirmed hours later that Cross was arrested on a murder charge.
The shooting involving police was among a string of shootings across the city, including one downtown roughly two hours before that left a man in critical condition.
“It’s been a difficult night for our city,” Terry said.
The officers involved in shooting Cross have been placed on administrative leave, per department policy. The Civilian Use of Force Review Board will have a hearing on the shooting and body and dash cameras were activated during the shooting, Adams said.
It is unclear whether Cross fired at officers and what makes and models of firearms were found by police.
Asked those questions by IndyStar, an unnamed IMPD spokesperson did not provide additional information and instead referred to a press release that did not contain the answers.
This is the fourth shooting involving Indianapolis police since the start of the year.

José Plasencia brings Cuban cuisine to Fountain Square’s Inferno Room
Cuban food never got the opportunity to evolve. Now at the Inferno Room, José Plasencia is giving his homeland cuisine a second chance.
A standout burger can come from unexpected places, as evidenced by one Indianapolis restaurant whose unconventional take on the American classic has earned it a spot on a national USA Today list.
There’s only one burger on the menu at the recently reimagined Inferno Room in Fountain Square, but it’s a good one.
Chef José Plasencia’s rendition of the Cuban frita, a beef-chorizo burger defined by a topping of fried shoestring potatoes, joined heavy hitters from across the country on USA TODAY’s pantheon of patties.
The USA Today list included places like Mr. Bartley’s Burgers, a veritable institution in Cambridge, Massachusetts as well as Jay’s Burgers in Louisville and Sacred Beast in Cincinnati.
Indianapolis’ best-known burger spot, the more than century-old Workingman’s Friend, did not make the national list but appeared alongside the Inferno Room on USA TODAY’s roundup of exemplary Midwest burgers. Both were featured on IndyStar’s list of 10 burgers to try around town.
