Early Morning Disappointing Run

[NorthernMonkey1]

I thought getting out early I would avoid the heat….wrong! I had the early morning gremlins giving me every excuse under the sun for me to not get out there. Put those thoughts to the back of my mind and ran. Decided I would try for another 10k but no matter how hard I tried when I got to 8.5k my legs just wouldn’t keep going. Walked the remaining 1.5k home, hot, sweaty, and a little despondent.

I wouldn't be despondent ! It's 8.5k more than you would have done by staying in bed 😁It was warming up though, I was out for a 5k at 05:35

Never be despondent. You made the effort to get out there and you ran over 5 miles. Well done 👍👏😁

Never underestimate the effect the heat has on our running - it was warm out there this morning. Nothing shabby about that distance and time - 8.5K in the legs is all good!👍🙂

It's always frustrating when you have to cut a run short but don't be so hard on yourself, 8.5k in these temperatures and at that pace is more than decent! Well done 👍

Frustrating for you to cut short the plan but this heatwave takes precidence, it wont last for long making those longer runs definitely more doable. Well done on 8.5k

8.5 km, wish I could do that, especially in the heat! Well done 👍
