Jeff Galloway has  a lot to say about slowing down with increasing temperature. However, I think his statements are meant for northern Hemisphere people ( US and UK) - because his "normal" running temperatures above which he starts to lower pace are so low for me where I live that I would only be running at night in the depths of winter!! But - anyway you are in the UK so this may be instructive to you???  jeffgalloway.com/pdf/hotwea...  

But he is right in one sense - we do have to slow down when it is hot - a lot does depend however on exactly what we mean by hot insofar as our personal experience.

I'm so excited for you Sandra. I know it'll be emotional but you'll be making a special memory too. Enjoy your taper week and good luck for Sunday. 🏃🎈🏃

Sandraj39Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess6 years ago

Thanks IP🙂. Wasn't sure about the taper bit(?) as 2 x5k  and a 10k is my usual running routine. Might do a shorter short(!) run on Friday, just so I'm nice and fresh on Sunday?

Hiya, you sound very well prepared so you're bound to do well. I wouldn't run more than 5k on Friday. 

I'm running that event too 😀. I did it last year - my only event (other than Parkrun) - I just run locally But Love Bristol and it's a great event. I can still remember practically every step from last year 🏃

Enjoy, and I will look out for your post run post! 

😀🏃🏃

Sandraj39Graduate10 in reply to pinkangel166 years ago
