This is not running weather :(

Photograph just taken in the car showing 35 degrees here in Northants 😎 . . . I went for a walk earlier this morning and even that was a bit much. I wanted to do a 5k tomorrow, yet to decide but I have a feeling even really early its going to be a bit too warm . . . . Take care out there fellow runners.

Too hot, too hot! We're supposed to be 33C as well today. I'll be skipping my run tonight. I'm hoping for cooler weather for Friday for my long run 🤞

[orangeguy Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Yes I think it cools down a bit on Friday, about 25ish apparently here according to the forecast.

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to orangeguy]

Ya, I think we're still 27, but I can dream 😆. It will be an early morning!

[alisonx Graduate10]

no chance i would run in the evening - it doesn't cool down at all here! We are on 31 at the moment. i did get out early this morning - it was warm already but not blazing and there was a little breeze and how the shade was a blessing.

Looking at the temperatures for tomorrow morning - not sure i fancy it 🥵

I'm thinking the same, maybe better left until Friday I think.

Eeek. We here on the south coast only have 31C with the sea breeze, and that’s plenty hot enough for me. 😅 I’m going day by day, but think over the low 20s is too much unless you’re already used to it. Don’t need the hospitals full of dehydrated runners with heat stroke! 😎

I always go out at 7am but it’s forecast to be 21C tomorrow at that time which I know is too much for me. I love jogging in the rain ☔️

Snapsies OG. I ran early yesterday morning and I’m due for another tomorrow but it’s going to have to be darned early. Snails hate heat. 🐌 🥵 👎

[orangeguy Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Just checked the forecast for 6am tomorrow morning - BBC says 20C, thunderstorms and sun 😂😂 so who knows but it doesn't sound great 😐

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to orangeguy]

I wouldn’t actually mind if it rained to be honest ...... 💦

[Knittingrunner Graduate10]

I feel the same about getting out there in this extreme heat so I’ve decided to use my spin bike instead with the fan on to keep me cool. So a bit of cross training instead until parkrun on Saturday when it will be fractionally cooler. 🏃🏻‍♀️😉

Ran 5k yesterday evening. Zig zagged all over the place as I sought the shade of the trees

So probably ran 6k. Nearly melted. It was an endurance run for sure, fighting my head which kept saying "what the @#$% are you doing?" 😜

[Yogaandrun]

Too hot, I ran 5.5k monday morning and 4k this morning and it was a hard one with heat already coming off the grass.

Take care everyone

[Lezlie]

I ran really slow 4,42 k yesterday evening at 9:01 pm. There were still 29C! It was really hard and I think I will try the next run on Thursday early morning ... maybe, because it doesn't seem to cool down much.

[orangeguy Graduate10]

Well done everybody who has braved the heat, decided to give my mid-week run a miss today. Hoping the weather is a bit more 'running compatable' on Friday morning 😊
