Managing to run on hols but only just!!

I’m 7 days into a 12 day holiday in Chicago and Lake Michigan, I wanted to run every other day but it’s been so hot I’ve only managed to get out twice and did less than 5 km each time. Even at 6am it’s been 22 degrees and so close and stifling.

Yesterday I ran around the most beautiful neighbourhood and managed to sneak a little respite under a couple of garden sprinklers. I also found my next house ( 😂😂).

My hubby has joined a local gym for the duration of the hol but I hate dreadmill running and it’s such a beautiful place it would seem sinful running indoors. It seems Its a great idea running on holiday but in reality it’s not as easy as I thought it would be 😳

Any run is better than nothing.

That said taking a little break from running whilst away won't hurt. I always factor in one or two running breaks within the year, especially before embarking on 12 week training programme for something like a HM. It keeps it fresh.
