Even though I went out first thing this morning I could feel the heat. There's very little shade along the tracks at this time of the year so I kept it slow and short.
It was a nice peaceful run though with just the birds to keep me company - even the hares and deer were keeping their heads in the cool today π

Well done for going out early! I envy you, I just don't have the courage to get up earlier to run before work. It's just not in me. As for keeping it short, that's also recommended in hot weather. Better get 30 minutes in and feel good, than run for an hour and almost die trying!
Yes 30 mins was all I could manage today. I agree with you that it's not worth making yourself ill or headachy for a longer run. Normally first thing in the morning is nice and fresh but it didn't feel it this morning.
Wish I had fought the duvet this morning and run before work like you. I will have to go later this evening-it's going to be short , slow and very hot!
You can almost feel the heat building in your photo and what a glorious blue sky, but I can see what you mean about no shade.I failed too get out early today so it's a must for tomorrow.
Well done, it's not easy running in this heat. We were out walking the dog at 6.30 this morning and even then it was really warm! Make sure you drink lots of water, it's so easy to get dehydrated in this weather π¦πββοΈπͺ
Never leave the house without one Dexy. Keeps the sun off in summer and the rain off in winter - it's looking rather faded now but I'd feel naked without it π
Definitely understand the heat thing (and feel so lucky for all the trees where I run), but Iβm focusing now on you soaking up the peace and birdsong.
