3.5k - Need to build up again

3.5 k done in 26 mins, I knew wasn't going to get to 5k today as it was hot, so put the speed up to cover as much distance as I could before I melted.

Fairly pleased with that. I hate running in the heat, but need to run so if it's 3k or 5k I don't care as long as I am runni g and keep my stamina up.

It was hot today! App said 19 degrees here at 10am but it felt hotter!

I agree - a run is a run and you are keeping your stamina up. I’m still on program but I think I will need to write myself a spreadsheet when I graduate to keep disciplined!

Does this mean you are the go to person for understanding the Parkrun breakdown and strava bits and bobs?

No not at all. I loaded Strava and panicked. And I’ve only (nearly) done one Parkrun.

Well done. It is getting mad hot again.

I can only run if I get out early and ran today because tomorrow morning is going to be a few degrees hotter at each hour than today.

Love that app layout.
