Run3 Week6 Repeat Offender

Well it turns out 2nd time is lucky. I finally managed to complet run 3 of week6. I've not done any running outside yet. Yesterday the heat was crazy in the house and I couldn't finish my run, only managed 12 mins.

Today I thought I'd give it another shot, although this time I decided to place a huge fan in front of my treadmill and slow my pace right down to 3.9 mph. What do you know I only bloody got to the end πŸ˜„

Feeling accomplished but slightly knackered. Btw is it normal to feel like your head might explode after running that long? I'm slightly beetroot in the face now haha.

Well done! Slowing down in this heat is a good idea! The beetroot face is normal for me!!

I did EXACTLY the same - treadmill at home for Run 3 Week 6 - did the five minute warm up and had to stop after six minutes of the run because of the heat. 12 minutes only, and defeated. Yesterday, did it again in a nearby Gym with fans, and managed the 25 minute run quite well.

Not what you're looking for?
