W8R2 - OMG it’s so much harder when it’s hot out!

[DBard]

That 28 minute run was a real slog today... Tuesday was a breeze, I could have carried on easily but today I just wanted to stop all run long.

Is it just me or does the heat sap your strength and endurance?

Running in the heat can be tough. I think a lot depends on how your body manages heat normally. I also think this weather warrants taking some water with you. In the past I have had to stop running when it got like this. Last year I managed to keep going and am hoping to do so this year (I did a long yesterday afternoon but it was hard, lots of walking breaks - and had water with me).

I don’t cope with heat very well, I think that’s the main problem. I think I need those colder evenings back 😀

[AnnieW55 in reply to DBard]

Me too - until we are stuck with them again! Cool, light evenings are my ideal.

I think half the issue is we've gone from very cold weather to thus in just a few weeks too, we're just not used to It! Both my daughter and I found it harder today. Was nice to get in the house where it was cool afterwards

I was out at 05.45 this morning!!! As a person who generally is moaned at at work for switching off fans, and closing windows, I never thought I would be missing a frosty morning 🙄

It's just such a shock to the system. And you have to dress completely differently which I always forget to do 😂 Could only do 2.5k yeterday morning!
