I was a sweaty beast this evening wk8r3. 24 degrees tonight was the hottest I’ve run in so far and my Scottish body’s not built to do anything in that heat but drink beer and eat assorted deep fried food stuffs .

Still managed it but only just!. Forecast for next week is almost 30 degrees !. I’m going to melt like a mars bar in the chip shop fryer 😬

Ha, very funny mate.

But such a blistering pace! 5k in 31.05 - well done, the end is in sight now. I’m out a bit later to do W7R3!

I’m waiting a few days before I attempt week 9. It’s going to be hot in London over the next few days

Well done! It’s tough in the heat - presumably you have typical Scots peelywally blue skin to protect from that sun too! 🌞 take care! 😜

My legs reflect sunlight. I’m so UV challenged the rest of me is almost translucent!

Well done! 👏👍

Buy a headband, it helps. Also when it gets really hot... just run faster and make your own breeze 🤣🤣😉

Seriously though, run early or late, away from the worst heat.

I brought a headband! Oh dear - my kids refuse to let me out in it! 😂😂😂

I agree that this evening was the worst humidity I have run in since starting the programme. Run 3 post grad tonight - I took a pic at the end - what a sweaty mess - I will not be sharing it - really tough out there! Well done to everyone out doing their runs in challenging conditions 👊
