I completed this run but really struggled couldn’t seem to find my rhythm or get the pace right. I’ve now developed a shin splint so know I’m going to have to rest up. Hope I will be able to get back into it soon

The heat is a problem, not just through the run but in the day and night before, making it more likely than usual that you’ll be dehydrated. That’s going to affect us all.
Next run, go slower and try to shorten your stride a bit. Both should help you keep going and avoid the shin splints.
Enjoy the next one!
