Week 8 Run 2.1

5 Replies

I’ve just hit my first hiccup. Due to darkness and poor weather, I ventured into the gym for this run.

Only managed 15 mins today. Had to stop. Serious overheating problem. Air conditioning in the gym clearly not built for a menopausal woman!

Still at least I ran a bit. And hopefully will be back outside for next run.

Well done! Any chance of early run ? High viz... and a head torch :)

Yes that’s what I’m planning for Friday. I’m definitely more of an outdoor person.

It's still warm outside too so don't wear winter gear 🙂

I find even a sleeveless shirt makes a difference to a t shirt, and I also find the treadmill nearest the air con! (And I'm 26, so I hope not menopausal, but I do overheat rather easily!)

Treadmills arent that bad - they have a holder on there to keep your tube of pringles in!

Not what you're looking for?
