I did my w7, run 2 this morning— I just took it very, very slowly and also wore a wet headband which seemed to help.

Started at 8:30 this morning but too hot already
Just managed to complete this run. I changed my route to lots of tree covered areas and really appreciated the difference in temperatures. Also went well away from roads to avoid fumes. Slower than previous runs also helped....

Yes.. don't run in the heat, you don't have to stick ridgedly to the days, can do another day to suit you, or very early morning or in the evening in the cool of the day.. but well done for completing the run..😊

Bravo for sticking with it. It was nice and cool at 5:45 this morning tho. He said unhelpfully

I think the only answer is to get up as it gets light! Had a very hot run at 9am yesterday. First run I have not enjoyed. Everything just seemed harder!
