Adding a week to the magic plan 😔

Not by design but because there was no way I would’ve made 10k today. Melted my way round 6.3 and walked the last 4! It just wasn’t pleasant 🥵🥵

It was probably the sensible thing to do but I’m so grumpy with myself for not making the 10 today.

Happy running peoples

You did a fantastic run today, heat and your 1st 10k are really not a good combination. The 10 will still be there, you will be ready for it and cooler weather will return. In the meantime enjoy some shorter runs. Happy running 🤗

Shorter runs are the way forwards for a week or so looking at the weather forecast. I should’ve planned my week a bit better. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Have a lovely Saturday

Too hot even at 7am when the temperature was 21C/70F in London, where I am in Central Scotland the temperature at 7am was 9C/48F, nothing to be ashamed of not running 10K this morning.

I’m in the south east, craziness its 24C out there already, I’m glad I went out at 7 or I might’ve only managed 5 mins 😂. Have a great day

You did the right thing. This will do you good as you move forward and you'll get there. Think of this as a warm up and when the temperature drops you'll do it.

6.5km in that heat is amazing. You should be so pleased. 10k can wait for a cooler day. 👍💪🏃‍♀️

Yep, plenty in this heat! ☀️That 10k will still be yours when the weather has cooled a little - and a very sensible running decision! 👍

Good decision LulaHula. GTFC fainted during a run, which should be a lesson to us all in this heat. That said, I graduated 60 minutes this week, but I did finish at quarter to midnight when it was cooler! Fresher weather is forecast so that graduate badge should be yours soon🏅

Just call it a warm up - you made a very sensible call there - it was hot !🥵

10k will follow on a cooler day and we will all celebrate with you.
