Holiday Runs

[mamajane]

That's my 4th run done while on holiday on Lanzarote. Would hate to run here all the time. I suppose given time I would get used to the heat and, to a certain extent, the horrible hills but not the wind!! Doesn't matter which way I go, I always end up trying to run/walk uphill into howling headwinds. It's making me seriously question whether I even want to run or not. So hoping this feeling passes when I get back home to the relatively calm north of Scotland! Meanwhile only one more "endurance test" to get through before home! I can do this 🤣

You simply learn to prepare better. I ran early today in Croatia, Dalmatia province by the sea, and the heat is mental. Not so much the temperature but the high humidity and no wind. I left London at 27C and we complain about ‘heatwave’ whereas this weather is a whole new scenario. Thankfully, I’m in my element when it comes to it. After three weeks of this l can take anything that’s thrown at me in sarf London.

At the moment it's not the heat (for once) that's the problem - mainly the incessant gale force wind! There's no escaping it anywhere. Hoping it my calm down by the time I go home.

I found it hard going running in Lanzarote (Costa Tequise) what with the heat, and yes rather windy, found a respite from that when visiting Puerto del Carmen.

I stopped the running while on holiday and did some swimming instead..

That's a good plan
