W3R2 - 16 runs to 10km!

I waited as late as I could to go out but it was still 29C at 7:30pm so I decided to go as slowly as I could and just get through it! For once I didn’t struggle with slowing down, my overall pace was 7:32/km and I did 5km exactly in 37:41, not actually my slowest 5km but not far off. Straight into a cold shower when I got home and looking forward to the promised rain and cooler temperatures for my 7km on Saturday!

Haha I know! I went out tonight and I think I must have lost about 3 pints in sweat 😂

Well done for your run! Brave to go out and run in 29 degrees, but do take care. 👏👍

Great going in this heat! Running really slowly is the way to go but we’ll all notice a difference in our running once it’s cooler 🥵

Yes, I’m hoping I’ll feel the benefit at the weekend!
