Not sure anyone can help with such limited information. How old are you, are you overweight, it could be diabetes, it could be heat exhaustion, maybe your just lazy or maybe your not eating enough.

Hi dijoxavier this hot weather could be a factor, so make sure you're hydrating really well before and after your runs. And also that you're eating enough - a healthy snack is a good idea after runs. If your body's not used to exercise that could also be a factor - maybe you need a bit more sleep at night? but if you're concerned then probably an idea to see your GP? Hope that helps and happy running 😊

I run at night & unfortunately it wakes me up more! We need to swap our reactions to running!
