Great pic! In hot weather I try to pre-hydrate a lot, starting the afternoon before the run. Drink half a glass of water every quarter of an hour. Good luck and keep going!

Fabulous! It’s great when you start looking forward to your next run! It means the bug is starting to bite - and there’s no turning back from there!

Happy running! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜€β€οΈ

Hydrate well the day before, run slowly! Try to avoid the hottest part of the days. I don't get on well with really early morning runs so I go out about 8pm. One day last week was 9pm. Good luck !😎

I drag my bones out of bed around 6am to be running by 6:30am and try to avoid the heat.

Remember the weather is slapping fluid from you constantly, not just when running so drink plenty water.
