Is it too hot!?

[Pisces77]

I’m supposed to do W4R2 today but worried about the weather being too hot (I can’t go later this evening as going out). Am I being a wimp?! Should I just do it?!

[Honorsmum]

Yup, just do it!

Drink plenty before and after and don't push too fast - slow and steady.

If you can, choose a shady route too.

Good luck!

I've just been out and it was sizzling, the breeze was a welcome relief! It was great to get to the end of the run though, and know that i'd completed it, even if the sun was too hot! (who'dve thought we would ever say that in September!) Enjoy it while you can...

[Pisces77]

Well, I'm going to give it a go! I might be mad!!

Depends on the time of day but it may not be too bad. Just remember to stay hydrated.

I was out running last night at 6:10pm for laps of which 1/3 of every lap was in full sunshine, it was baking hot, by the end of the first 8 minutes I felt as if my head was about to burst into flames, very unpleasant and it got worse!!! The only saving grace was I had taken water with me and we had 3 minute breaks before the next onslaught of 8 minutes.

I would never opt to run in full sun like that as by the time we had finished I thought I was going to burst into spontaneous combustion brought on by too much sun My face was still bright red an hour later when I got home after showering and drinking a ltr water too.
