Can anyone give me some advice on running in warmer weather? The last 3 runs I've done have been in sunshine (in Scotland) & I really struggled. Given that it should get warmer how does everyone cope? I was wearing a short sleeve top with light jacket & each time had to stop to remove the jacket.
Running hot!!: Can anyone give me some advice... - Bridge to 10K
Running hot!!
Dress for the 2km mark not for going out of the door. Might be chilly for first 15 mins but then you're good.
Just wait a week, summer will be over for you
Seriously though, lose the jacket. You will warm up quickly.
I know I shouldn'tbe moaning but I have struggled. I'll give that a go next summer 🤣🤣
Tie a light top or jacket around your waist if you want some reassurance and eventually you will get fed up of it being there and leave it at home. Make sure you put on some SPF, even when it is chilly or cloudy.
A run jacket is so light it’s only like a scarf round your middle but you can pop it back in for the walk home, or if it suddenly starts tipping it down. You get cooler once you’ve stopped running
Ha- it's supposed to be Autumn here and it is still 30C+ and 85% humidity!!! I am going to buy a USB powered fan for use on the treadmill in my airconditioned local gym.
Run early morning.
Personally I find it so much harder in the heat. Anything over 7 or 8 degrees I find its shorts and vest for a faster run and a slightly longer top for a slow or long run. Keep trying different things till you find what suits you. I dont know your body type but a tube of Bodyglide never goes amiss too.
