So just completed a 30 min run and oh my goodness I’m hot. I was super slow today, didn’t realise I could go any slower 🤣

Anyone else struggling with the heat?

We are all struggling in the heat, best to run at around sunrise.

I know that would be better but my husband goes to work at 3am and I might get in trouble leaving 3 kids under 10 home alone 😂

I absolutely struggle with any kind of heat so we’ll done for getting out there! Personally I just accept that if I run in this heat I’m going to be a lot lot slower 🐌 . I love the summer but not for running, give me a cold winters day any time x

It’s my first long run in the heat so I think I’m going to have a few slower runs as the summer goes on. Roll on the winter eh? 😂
