Well, running was going OK up until a couple of weeks ago and then my legs and lungs decided to complain every time I went out. The only thing that has really changed is that the weather is a bit hot & humid and I've done a few more runs (but nothing excessive). Went out this morning at 6:00 whilst it was a bit cooler and my 5k was still a bit "pants" with loads of walking breaks!
Anyone else finding it really tough in this weather?? I've decided to have a break from running until the weekend to see if a few days recovery will help.
Happy running folks

Yep, same problem. Keep having to stop for walking breaks and I'm horribly slow. Bit frustrated actually. Did have one good run yesterday morning, but the last 4 to 5 have not been brilliant. Blame it on the weather!
Humidity just seems to suck the life out of us. Go out later in the evening, it's wonderful 😊 I would still try and run your normal programme. Post 9.00 pm the streets are quieter, fewer kids on bikes and scooters etc ☺
I can't walk comfortably in the heat and haven't attempted to run before 21:00 to make sure the sun has no strength.
Loads of people round here are still out running 10am-2pm and I just don't 'get it'!
I think a few days rest would be beneficial.
I also think there's probably a bit of post-grad fatigue. Trying to take some shorter runs may hopefully also help getting on top of walk breaks. They are often still from the mental aspect rather than physical x
