Sunny day ☀️

[TJMazz]

I love the summer and the sunnier the better for me. However, I’ve come to realise that I prefer running in the cooler months.

Went out for a 6k run this morning at 7.45 but it was already hitting 17 so a bit too warm. I’m not sure how these people who live in the sunny climates manage. I guess you adapt.

Anyway, a great way to start a Sunday morning. Still loving to run after graduating in November. Definitely feeling the benefits of being leaner and fitter.

Time to wake the teenagers up now for a fun packed day 👍

I’m exactly the same! Running in heat is horrendous, I prefer waiting until the evening when everything’s cooled down!

Congratulations on graduating from the programme, Ita nice to hear that you’ve continued running too!

I hate it too. Was out at 7am but was already pretty warm. 🔥🔥🔥 At least we’re set up for the day now. Enjoy! 😎

I couldn't agree more!! I just graduated last week and currently on our hols in 30 degree heat! A bit paranoid about losing fitness so we have our trainers with us and so far we have managed a 20 minute early morning run, but did sweat buckets but proud at we can do it. Swimming only today, then planning on another early one tomorrow. Definitely got the bug!

Wow, that’s amazing. Not sure I would be running when it’s that warm. Good for you. Congratulations on your graduation 🙌🏻

I agree cool days are better, I’ve varied my route to include cool woody paths welcome milestones.

Good to have role model graduates on this forum

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to Tortoiseintrainers]

I usually stick to the streets for running and look for shade. Woody paths sound like a good plan.

Looks like your running journey is going well. Not long until you graduate. I’ll be looking for you on that podium. Go for it 🙌🏻

Agree! I hate the heat and the humidity! I don't mind a bit of light rain for running!

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

Yes, I love running in light rain. Lovely and cool. My friends think I’m crazy when I go out in the rain but I find it the best weather for running 😀

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Good to hear from you. I’m glad your running is going well despite lack of cool weather.

Waking teenagers, (plural!!)?? - What courage! 😀

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Hi, just noticed you have been unwell. Hope you are recovered. Good to see you are up and running again. 😀

Yes, two teenagers who like to stay awake late and get up late!

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to TJMazz]

Thanks, I’m much better now. I am doing a re-run of C25K having had 4 months off. Back onto W5. It is so good to be running again. 😄

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

That’s great news. Every success with your journey. You’ll smash it 🙋🏼

I love running in the early morning! Try a bit earlier, it's cooler. I went out at 6.30 this morning, it was cool and fresh. Mind you it was a struggle to make myself get out there 🙃.

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to Gran4z]

Yes, when I started in Sept I always went at 5.30 so I could run in the dark and nobody could see me 😂 These days I still choose to run earlier as the air is fresher and the streets are quieter and I can run without a care in the world 🙋🏼
