38°C!

Yes, I know that everyone realises that it's really hot, but I was hoping for my first consolidation run tonight. Better leave it till tomorrow...☹

Not wise to run in 38C/100F, leave your consolidation run until Saturday when it should be a bit cooler, I live in Central Scotland, the max temperature recorded at my local weather station was 31.7 C/89F at 4PM, that is COLD compared to 42C/108F in Paris

I prescribe a G and T.... then a run tomorrow!!

[Vintage61 Graduate]

Me too.... 5a.m tomorrow hopefully instead 🤞

[Zebadee1 Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Enjoy! Mine will have to be in the evening. Rain is forecast here for tomorrow, actually hope they got it right 😀

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Zebadee1]

Good luck Zeb 👍🏻

Stop teasing me. 🥶 People walking around in hats and scarfs over here in Ireland. Overcast, windy and cold today but at least it’s not raining.

Enjoy the nice warm hot summertime weather.

😂......I'm sure it's not that bad.

[damienair Graduate in reply to Zebadee1]

It really is. Was just 18 degrees today, overcast and blowing a gale. When the UK have a heat wave we just wave 👋 back from the 🥶 cold wet windy Island of Ireland.

Winter is coming!

[Zebadee1 Graduate in reply to damienair]

The heatwave is not much fun, honest. Everyone is a sweaty mess, and you can't even go for a run

[damienair Graduate in reply to Zebadee1]

I know, a colleague of mine is in London this morning. He told me that some trains are not running due to the tracks buckling in the heat. If you want a break come to Ireland. Same today, 18 degrees windy and overcast. Amazing to think your only 1 hour away in the plane and the weather can be so different. We get all the weather off the Atlantic where as you get continental air.

Wow, really?

[damienair Graduate in reply to Debston]

Yes, when we get a heat wave it’s about 25 degrees for lunch time. 😂

[Debston Graduate in reply to damienair]

Lol!!!

[Comfortnotspeed]

Yes, it’s just too hot. 🥵

[Cakerunner Graduate]

Hi Zebadee1! Nope, don't do it....I went at 5.30 am...it was cool and lovely.....then, later on I see these people running in the heat of the day!😱dangerous behaviour that! It's around 5am or not at all for me at the moment...stay safe everyone..😊🏃‍♀️

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

If only there was the option not to work as it's too hot. Was delightful yesterday 🤣🤣🤣

[Run46 Graduate]

I know it's frustrating but 38 degrees is ridiculous for running...I was luckier as we only had it 30 degrees here so when it had cooled down to 24 degrees 😳 at 9pm I went for it. Much cooler and more sensible today...enjoy your run 👍🙂

[Zebadee1 Graduate]

I left it a bit late this morning and by the time I got to the seafront it was 30°C again. I run for just over 20 minutes, but decided that was enough and went to do aqua aerobics instead.....on a positive note, I wore my running shorts for the first time ever and no one fainted. (Although they could have been blinded by the whiteness of my leggs) 😀....

Hi zebadee 1, I might sound stupid in asking this but, what is a consolidation run?

[Zebadee1 Graduate in reply to Sdyates2019]

That's what the first few runs after the graduation are called. Think it's because you consolidate everything you learnt so far and then can start working on your speed, pace, stamina and so on....I might have got it completely wrong, I only graduated on Monday 😀

[damienair Graduate in reply to Zebadee1]

Your 100% correct. I graduated 2 years ago and I’m still consolidating. Building running legs.

Makes scence, thank you
