Hi All! Does anyone else find it really difficult running in this heat? It really slows me down! I have realised I like running in dull cool rainy weather! My last 2 runs have not been great due to the humidity. Feeling a bit despondent 😒

I agree. It was far too hot and humid this evening. I struggled with breathing, pace was slow and I looked like I had just stepped out of a steamy, hot shower by the time I got home.

Yup, I long for cooler weather and to complete a run without the beetroot look. Fat chance at the moment, eh!
