Beating the Heat ?

[StewieNorts]

Anyone else getting up at the crack of dawn to get run out of the way before it gets too hot ! 32 degrees in Essex today was out and back before 6:45 am.

Hmmmm. No. I retreat to the air con in the gym 😳 Or go after 8:30 pm

I’m up in scotland so not as hot up here but I’m still out early to get the runs in to avoid the heat. Was 18c this morning on my run at 6am was a sweaty one 🤣

There has been a heat health warning issued by the Met Office to the NHS for most of England from Tuesday to Friday, especially in the south-east and London where the temperature could go up to 35C mid 90's F, even the minimum temperature might not go below 21C/70F first thing in the morning, so far Scotland is to miss the worst of the heat, the temperature there going up to 24c. If you are running at any time in England the NHS has warnings of possible extreme heat exhaustion. That 18c this morning won't be repeated again this week in Scotland, the minimum temperature is to be about 12C, far more comfortable for us early morning runners. I am so happy that you enjoyed your sweaty run this morning Mrs_Gibson5k

Yes, out of the door by 6am. It still felt hot this morning at 18C. I would like to run later, especially on my day off, but will wait until the temperature drops. Well done to anyone who can run in this heat 🏃‍♀️☀️

Yeah didn't really cool down last night sweat was running off me on walk back from the park...doesn't help that my walk back is directly into the sun 😰

Yes Stewie. That early morning slot between the burglars and the dog walkers is the only way to go - still end up in a heap of sweaty wet stuff though.
