Meanwhile, here in Queensland, I had to wait until almost noon before it warmed up to 15C so I could do my HM race pace practice. Last year at this time , it was around 30C around noon - the Gold Coast marathoners suffered - but the Half marathoners got it done and dusted before it warmed up too much.
Whoa!!! It's getting cold down south!!! - Bridge to 10K
Whoa!!! It's getting cold down south!!!
My how I laughed at that! I think we got to 18C here yesterday on summer solstce here in Devon, England
15 degrees..............a warm summer's day here, far too hot to run!!!
blimey that does look chilly!!!!
We're going up to 33C tomorrow - and it's normally my long run day. Gulp - will have to have a re-think!
Pre-Dawn in the ONLY time for such days !!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Bazza it's cold outside
Surprised to see that snow in Queensland. We ran in 20deg and 83% humidity yesterday evening, which was a tad too warm & heavy for me & the wife, and had a lovely thunder storm during the night, but surely 10-15deg is fine to run in...😊
That cold snap ( straight out of Antarctica) hasn't arrived here in Queensland yet - expected on Saturday. Right now it is further south. Here in Qld, those blizzard conditions only get to the high country further inland - but it still gets damned cold (for us) here on the Coast. Expected to be only 6-7C tomorrow morning for parkrun. FREEZING!!!
I know I was teasing you the other day Bazza, but I do know what you mean. I've come to realise temperature really means different things in different places. In UK 25C is a really hot summer day, here in France you need a cardie at that temp. It doesn't really get hot here until it goes over 30C, and even then sometimes you can get cold feet. I often stop off in Spain on my way to and from France, there 15C seems positively balmy! It must be due to ground temperature. Yesterday I ran in 28C and it was ok, I just don't like full sun in my face.
