Well that was tough! It was warm out but I wasn't expecting to find it that tough. Feel a bit disheartened as I got to 20 minutes straight running last summer in the heatwave but really found just 6 lots of 90 seconds tough.

I think that I'll try to keep really well hydrated tomorrow and go out as early as I can on Saturday and hope it's a bit easier.

On the plus side at least I completed the run. My body was screaming at me to stop at the halfway point but somehow I got through!!

Here's to the next run!

Well done. I think it’s as much to do with the dramatic increase in temperatures as it is the actual number on the thermometer. Yes, it’s tough out there, but last summer it stayed hot and I got used to it. I’m currently looking forward to an extra rest day as it’s supposed to be cooler again on Sunday. Happy running.

Thanks everyone. I'm proud of myself for getting out there and doing it. I've got quite a busy day on Saturday so if I can't get out first thing in the morning I'll leave it til Sunday. Will be too hot to run on Saturday evening!

I really hope I can get to graduation this time but I'll try to take each run as it comes.

Happy running!
