...and like a crazy person, I’ve just been running in it. Phew, it’s hot out there – even at sunrise.
Be VERY careful if you run today. It will be cooler tomorrow, so maybe run then instead.
Stay safe.

Thanks Stephen, you did well to run today... I haven't been since Monday, hopefully will go tomorrow when things have cooled down a little.
Well done you...too warm here already... thanks for reminding folk... the runs wait.. as ever
Thanks, Floss. Hope all’s OK with you.
Getting there...thank you..back up to 8K after a very slow return from the IC...but as ever, for me, slow is just fine..and with this weather... perfect
Good morning Floss, glad that you are back up to 8K after being on the IC, I ran yesterday run 3 of week 6 C25K as a practice run for my second park run this Saturday, it was the warmest weather I have ran in, even before 9 am the temperature was almost 20C.
I am not sure if I will run on Saturday morning as the weather forecast is for heavy thundery rain where the park run is being held, it's not as if I live nearby where the run is, if I get soaked during a run, I have a 50 minute bus ride home, it's not very comfortable sitting in a soaking wet T-shirt and shorts for 50 minutes, hence the doubts about whether I will be running this Saturday, hopefully, the rain will stay off and I will be able to run.
Phew, that would be dedication! 😮 Skip that one if the forecast doesn’t improve! You could run 5K near home: a Virtual Parkrun without the soggy bus ride. 👍
Timely post Stephen. Thank you. 👍
I ran yesterday knowing today would be worse. I think tomorrow is supposed to be much fresher so yes, avoiding today would be a good idea. Even now at 7am it’s a very humid 19 degrees here. 🥵
Well done on completing a run in this heat! I ran yesterday and it was soooooo hard! 😫
Yes my 8k at 5.30 this morning was rather warm!☀️🔥
🥵🥵🥵🥵couldn't agree more Stephen, I am still sweating and I've been in for 45 minutes, I'll need another shower I think ( dreaming of cold crispy mornings 💭❄❄)
well done for getting your run in even with this heat!
Today is supposed to be 42° here, I have never been happier with my cool cool basement
Thank you. 42?! That’s just silly. I’d stay in that basement if I were you!
I actually quite like feeling warm for once, I always feel cold, except when running. Will up my water intake though today, I think I will gently perspire during my run
Perspire?! Surely not. You mean ‘glow’, right?
no, I think today I may perspire - given the record temperatures it may be allowed for women to perspire today...
my poor neighbour is 7 months pregnant - I remember being pregnant in the 2003 heatwave with my daughter - I feel so sorry for her with her own internal heater lol
It must be so rough being heavily pregnant in this weather. Time to head to the nearest pool and just stay there. I also worry for extra-furry cats and dogs. Poor things can’t just take off their coats.
you can buy cooling blankets for them, but mine just move around the floor (I have tiled floor) and find the next cool spot
I will turn the hose on them later if they want to play in the spray
Looking forward to running in the rain at Parkrun instead I think 🏃🏻♀️😂
No runs for us today- I’ve even cancelled my Pilates as there’s no air con in the studio and it’s hot enough on a normal summer day. Hydration, hydration and it might be our first dip in the sea then back to shade.
I also ran yesterday as today looked ridiculous, will run tomorrow too, have upped my water intake too.
Nope, not running anywhere today. Takes me back to living in California back when we had small children - everything necessary done by 9 a.m. and all the blinds down and paddling pool in the shade.... 😊. So different from our usual sun-seeking in the UK back then.
Thanks Stephen and I’m impressed ! I can’t even run early in this humidity so waiting for cooler days....I can just about walk in it ! 😂😅🏃♀️
I ran at the same time too! It was comfortable but I couldn’t have gone any time later that’s for sure!
Well done with that. Hope you can stay cool for the rest of the day.
Is there a Parkrun thread for this week?
Not sure, but if you start it too early it tends to sink down the pages before the day itself. I am predicting you are up for it, JaoJao? I am definitely doing it this week, whatever the weather.
I ran on Tuesday evening with a running group, everyone struggled. Gratefully we run along a promenade, my treat at the end of it was to dive into the sea....a beatiful sunset swim.
Nice one. I ran too got up at 6am to do a 10k, was actually quite nice then.
I was slow though as the ground is so dry now it's all sharp rocks/gravel and tree roots and I didn't want to trip.
