Just 4k and totally toasted!

[orangeguy]

Well when I set off at 6.30 this morning I didn’t have a plan (unusual for me!) I was going to see how it went, this run could have turned out to be my week five 4, 5 or even 8k run I didn’t know. I have been running at this early time in the morning time since the hot weather started so I didn’t think it would be a problem but after about 2k I was very uncomfortable and totally toasted!. By the time I got home I had done spot on 4k, and that was enough for today for me I don’t like to moan but getting just slightly fed up with this weather now

Aww orangeguy it is getting too much isn’t it? Saps all your energy 😑. Supposed to be getting more comfortable tomorrow for a few days so you’ll feel better then. I can’t wait not having to be out at 5am! 💤

At least you did one of the weekly runs. Well done you! 👏🏼👏🏼

This morning was particularly warm I think, certainly was for me in the midlands. I was out a 7am for a walk (non running day today) and I was getting a sweat up just doing that. Thinking of doing a rain dance in the near future, I’ve had enough of the heat now too.

I'm not that far away, I'm in Northampton. I don't think its been any warmer today than last week but the problem for me was it was certainly warmer earlier this morning. Normally 6.30 is okish, but not today

7.45am for me and wished l had got up earlier! Managed 5k even though it was roasting! Just finished week 3, certainly looking a bit cooler this week. ☺

Well done. Yes, lets hope it is, got a 5 and an 8 to fit in sometime this week.

Well done OG, this heat just saps the energy out of you but respite is on it’s way. Cooler conditions this week.... yay 🤗

Nice one Orange, and me too... I'm actually having fantasies about running in the snow again!!

[orangeguy Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Yes, wouldn't that be great? . . . better today though, week 5 8k done this morning
