Wow, that was hard. It's the hardest one so far. I think the hot weather might have something to do with it - I'm definitely a shade person.

Congratulations on completing run 2 of week 6, try and run as early in the morning as possible, it's going to be 🔥 hot and humid over the weekend and next week.

Thank you! I'm not a great morning person, but you're right - I need to go out earlier. I'm on holiday in Scotland soon, so it will be cooler and hopefully I can find some reasonably flat ground and the time, so I don't have to stop for 2 weeks.

I am in Scotland as well, so perhaps it won't be just as hot as the south of England, nevertheless, the 28th June marks a year since we had our highest ever temperature of 33C/91F.

You’re not the only one, I prefer running In shade than sunlight, I’ve got sunglasses when it’s hot which helps a bit.

I found my leggings were too warm today so next week I’ll be wearing shorts

It can't seem to find a happy medium between monsoon and heatwave lol

Well done on getting out anyway.

Thanks everyone. I haven’t gone out in the rain yet - but I’ll have to at some point.
