Up here in the lakes we don’t have the best weather but tonight at our running club was the first warmish night - god it was hard! It’s like there is no air to breathe! Much prefer wind and rain 🤣

Bring back December, O how you wish it was Christmas Day every day. O dear you don't like the warm weather, so sorry about that, perhaps you were wearing too much for your run, when it's warm weather you don't need to wear much, hydrate and drink plenty of water the day before you run, that way you should enjoy your runs and not wish it was December 🎄 🎅. 😊 🏃

If I wore less I think I would be arrested for indecency 😳 definitely need to drink more. That is the issue! Will concentrate on that before Monday and hopefully see an improvement - thanks

I quite like it cool (6-9C) but as I only started running last November I don't know how bad it gets in the heat of summer. I met someone who stopped running last year because the heat was too much. I'm already planning on getting up very early to run in the cool as summer approaches!

That sounds like a good idea! Half way through I was praying for rain but glorious blue skies were all that was on offer!

I was thinking much the same during my run yesterday too. People may think I’m nuts when it rains and I’m grinning, but I do much prefer a wet run to a hot one.

I know what you mean.

My favourite temperature (to run in) is 3°C, in the summer I am always back in by 06.00🥵
