I’ve been using the short run of the week for speed intervals but it was far too hot to think about that this morning so I aimed for an easy pace and averaged 7:10/km. I was fairly spent by the end (very little shade along the route!) and I did 3.51km in 25:08 so I’ll need to go much slower for the 5km on Wednesday if this heat wave continues!

Well done running in this current heatwave, and at a good pace. I’ve stopped running until the heatwave ends but I managed a 7k walk this morning, and kept the heart rate in zone 3 for 95% of the time. So I will be ok to resume running when the weather is cooler. Happy 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Ah, well done, that sounds great! I had under-estimated quite how hot it was so definitely earlier and slower for me on Weds!
stay well hydrated, Wednesday sounds like it’ll be hotter!!

Well done, you’re right about running earlier! And more slowly (if you can 😊)

That’s fantastic! 10k in less than an hour. How inspiring!
