A reasonably pleasant 18°C when I set off. Feeling quite comfortable at the 5k mark; not too fast, not too slow, and then it happened.
The sun came out and the temperature climbed.
Not surprisingly, my pace fell asleep the mercury rose. The last 2k were all about putting one for in front of the other and I was damned if I wasn't going to get to the end.
25° at the end. Us pale skinned Scottish types aren't made for running in that.
Never has a post-run shower felt so good.

Oh yes. 20C is a break point for me. After that there has to be shade! Well done for finishing & hope you didn’t get sunburn. Red face from heat fades faster.... 😄🥵
