Up early. Heat is a great motivator. Wednesday morning will be much cooler than any other this week so up and run today so I can run on Wednesday too. Mad, eh?

Very uneventful 4k. No toxic 10 and minimal gremlin activity - I think they had a lie in.

Ran up Sirens Hill to Parklife by Blur. I am cutting down on my pork life and getting some exercise!

Not checked properly but I think that’s my fastest run so far. Sweat now pouring off me.

Whatever run you have next, enjoy it x

Well done, Jay, for getting out and about so early. Still on IC as far as running goes, but did manage NHS strength & flex level 4 this morning. Really good stats☺

Hope you're right about Wednesday being cooler - I have so had it with this heat!

Now I didn’t say Wednesday will be cooler. I said Wednesday morning will be cooler. Wednesday itself is going to be scorchio, sorry! 🌞

I think it’s forecast to be 30 in London on Wednesday 😅. Will try & get a brisk walk in the morning & hoping to do a short run at w’end. Really impressed with your stats😉

Your plan as mentioned on Rfc.,is good Jay.Very measured.👍

You are going to reap the benefits of this and all these kms and slow building time.

Patience is a factor.🤔

When you are ready you will be turbo charged for the next part of your journey.🌟👏👏

Well done Jay for stomping it in this heat! (Pleased it's a walk not run day for me today 🌞🌞🌞) Haha love the Parklife reference 🤣 All us joggers who go round and round and round.... yes we are all completely Bonkers!! 😝 And long may it continue 😬👊

This hill I run up has a false flat at the top and it’s really hard. It’s in the last half k of my runs. As I reached that point I got “it’s got nothing to do with your vorsprung durch technic, you know”. Don’t know why but it made me lol whilst running, which gave me a coughing fit and startled the nearby bus queue. Happy times.

Just crunched the stats. That was my 40th ever run, my fastest 4k with all 4 splits my fastest and 59 seconds faster than my last 4k. Chuffed!

Wow Jay! Thats an awesome run. You’re just getting stronger and faster with each run, with or without your icy kecks! Impressed 👍

Jay66UKGraduate in reply tolexi6

I think my new super-ventilated shorts might be a factor. They are less aerodynamic but they also keep me much cooler. 😊🌞

My new running vest arrives tomorrow so I should be even faster on Wednesday, he said, setting himself up for a bad run!!

Another photo please when it does. 11pm here, so will go off to dream of vests and shorts and not gloves, fleecy leggings and buffs ❄️ 🌨 Good luck for your run Wednesday Jay 👍

Great stats. Would you explain the elevation thing to me please? I have it in my stats, but can't figure it out .

I ran this morning too, I was late getting out, though still about 7.15 and by the sea, but was too hot really. Running Wednesday evening, hope it's still cooler.

Jay66UK profile image
Jay66UKGraduate in reply toGran4z

I have no clue what the number means. The online resources claim it is “elevation gains” (which is the total of all gains) and that is not right for my route.

It may be the difference between the start and the highest point on the route but it’s certainly not a reflection of the min/max difference nor of the overall gain.

And well run!
