Back to the running after a 2 week break (with a 3 day festival in the middle). I went quite early to miss the worst of the heat but had to change my run as most of the footpath was closed. Instead of running alongside a dual carriageway for 12.5 minutes then turning around I ran through the village. It felt about 3 times longer than normal and when I had the “5 minutes left” from Laura I nearly started crying😂. Pushed on and finished but it was the hardest run to date. Hope the works get finished on the footpath soon!! And by the way, it wasn’t any bloody cooler! 🥵🥵

Well done for running though. Everyone has tough runs. I did this morning too. So warm. But those tough ones make the good ones sweeter 👍🏽

I don't think it was your route that was the problem , just the heat . You did it anyway . Well done 😊
