I gotta say, I find it a bit easier to go running long distance (>5k) in subzero wind chills than I do in >70F dew points. Tried both on several occasions. Try it out, I feel like you'd agree.
Different story for biking though, since it's less intense.

I went for a 3.0 mile run this morning, thought I was going to experience running in a 70°F dewpoint and could compare. Didn't feel that bad, though humidity was annoying after a while, still not as noticeable as yesterday. As for less intense than biking, my run felt less intense than the uphill portion of my ride yesterday (with a dewpoint of 68°F). But it wasn't 70°F; dewpoint dropped to 63°F. Northeast airflow. Hmm that was just the Chicopee station. Other unofficial ones are reporting a bit higher
DP still above 70 here. (72) Temps in the upper 70s. Overcast morning.
Northeast & Midwest Dews VS Southeast and South.
I truly don't know how they do it. Length of time and higher.
