That was a hard one. Toxic 25 - I was just starting enjoy it for the last 3 minutes. Sun too bright for half the way, perhaps I should not go so soon after dawn.

I won't put the Strava trace in, as something when madly wrong with the GPS and it recorded me running about 2K in zigzags and at 1.25/Km pace - even Mo can't do that! Thinking of buying a running watch, but can't decide which one.

Hate when that happens. My sunny runs have been transformed by wearing a visor.

A few people on here have the Garmin Forerunner 35 and speak well of it.

I have a series 1 Apple Watch and it works fine for me, but useless without an iPhone.

Get a cap... they are brilliant... winter or summer... keep the sun from your eyes and stop the rain on your glasses ( well mine anyway). Mine is a Trail Head... off Amazon:)

Well done you.... what a great start to the day, despite the toxicity :)

I have a Garmin 610... ( they were on offer when I got it...) upgraded from a Garmin Forerunner..:)

I ought to wear a cap, being bald, and already had some keratinous lumps removed. I do actually own one.... Good idea, thank you (and Jay66UK).
