A Warm and Muggy 3.5K

[Instructor57]

So, my last run was a 10K for the London virtual vitality run .

So following my sequence, today would be either 3.5 or 5K.

It was quite warm and muggy out there so decided on the 3.5

I really need to pick my run frequency up again but with working all week and being too tired after work and having many other things to do weekend is my only option , perhaps I should get back into the habit of early morning runs 🤔

So anyway, set off nice and steady for a 3.5K and was feeling ok, but a little sluggish, it only took a few minutes and I was feeling quite warm even though I was wearing my thinnest shorts and t shirt, there is just no air !

No watch watching or music on this run , just concentrating on form, breathing and surroundings .

Nothing really much to report , it was just a steady run !

Mr Garmin was unimpressed and kept my stats the same .

I don't think he likes me running just once in 7 days .

I must make an effort to get him back on side 😁

Back home , stretches done and a mug of tea .

Then it will be a quick shower and watch the F1 😁

There still seems to be an issue uploading pictures to posts ? 🤔

Every little helps, so the saying goes. I start my last week of C25K tomorrow and finish Friday, they I have to run without Laura encouraging me along. Being retired I’ll still run three times a week and push weights on other days. It’s growing old disgracefully! Keep 🏃‍♂️

Thanks, good luck with your final C25k week !If you want guided runs after that then try the NRC (Nike Run Club) app 👍

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Will do, thanks.

It can be so hard fitting in our running around work. I have luckily, just had half term off but tomorrow will be back at school, which means my weekday runs will once again be later in the day after work (I am a bit of a night owl, so getting up even earlier is just not going to happen!😴 )Well done on getting out there for your run despite the heat. I also ran this morning and found it warmer than expected! 🙂

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Yes, it's difficult with work ! During C25k I was out before 6am some mornings !

I can't get up these days though 🤣

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

I have the same problem, getting up at 7:30 feels like it used to when I had to get up at 3 or 4am to catch a flight or something 😴 🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Yes, used to do a lot of that for flying myself ! In a previous job 😁

It’s was yukky and humid….well done getting a run in….I only managed 20 minutes!!!

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Yes your right , it wasen't very nice 😐At least we run 😁👍

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Well done, Ian! One run a week is better than no runs. We do what we can! I’m afraid it was so muggy this morning I decided not to run. I took a cup of tea back to bed. Knew I shouldn’t have done that 😂 Well done to you for getting out there 👏👏👏👍

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

At about 5.30am it was drizzling round my way and the temperature hadn't dropped much (min was 15°C). I went back to bed too.

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Thanks Jools ! 👍I did that also !

I was up at 5:45, made tea and went back to bed , got up again at 8:30 for porridge and run around 10:30 🤣

[sparky66 Graduate10]

You got out 👍 that's a success 🙌

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

Thanks ! I needed to get out 😁

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Can I ask you a question please, why is my 10Mile badge not showing beside my name? Wondering if it got something to do with site problems like not being able to upload pics?

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

No, it will only show in the Marathon forum , just like your Graduate 10 only shows on the bridge and you graduate on the c25k

Badges only show on the forum they are awarded in

[sparky66 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Ahhh I didn't know that, thank you 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to sparky66]

No problem 😁👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

No pictures for me either, good you got out. I struggle with after work runs and have decided to run every day or walk even if for only 10 minutes, it’s my working weekend and a short run is a good break between work and home relaxing, Enjoy your evening

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks , yes it's tough if you are working !I think your 10 mins minimum is a great idea 😁👍

[nowster Graduate10]

Well done! It was very muggy here this morning too. We were out running about the same time.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Yes, I made tea at 5:45 and took it back to bed 🤣 up again at 8:30 and out at 10:15 after my porridge had settled in 😁

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Today's pic 😁

[Peter44 Graduate10]

Well done Ian, at least you got out, like Julia says, even one run a week is better than no run! I'm the same, not having so much time at the moment, sometimes been 9 or 10 day gaps between runs, and this warm weather does make it harder! Anyway, i've been running 9 months now, but feels much longer, which must be a good sign! 🏃‍♂️😀🏃‍♂️

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Thanks Peter，yes we do what we can .The time soon goes dosent it , I'm now in my 13th month 😳🏃‍♂️

3.5 K is already a lot in this weather, it's almost irresponsible to run in this heat. But you did it and that is another run dusted and done!

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Very well done on getting out there and doing 3.5k in this heat! I've started training for a half marathon and it was a choice between 5k or speed work yesterday morning. I didn't think I'd be able to last very long so did the speed work (27minute fartleks with NRC). I went out at 8 but it was so warm and humid I was a bit dizzy when I got home 🥵🥵 Mr Garmin is also not impressed with me at the moment, maybe this heat is making him grumpier than usual 🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Well done 👍That NRC Fartkek run is quite good , but tiring 😁
