I did a run (I'm week 7) one evening this hot week? Thinking it would be cooler? - Iโ€™m usually a โ€˜first thing in the morning runnerโ€™

Halfway through I checked the temperature.....still 27 degrees ๐ŸฅตNo wonder I found it hard!

Had a 5 day break then went out today in the rain!! It was bliss! ๐Ÿ˜Š Even did that little last minute speed up that is encouraged!

Hope you all managed better than me in that heat? Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s not healthy to do it in those sort of temperatures?

I took a break from the training last week because of the heat. Like you am on week 7 and have to run after work and it was unbearably hot, I wouldn't have enjoyed it. I started week 7 this morning under the pouring rain and really enjoyed it and I found I had not lost fitness at all! temperatures next week are early 20 so will complete my week 7 (hopefully!)

I was thinking about the advice Iโ€™ve read here about dressing as though itโ€™s 10 degrees hotter than it is - so I think it could be really bad for us running in that heat - so wise to take a break. And now you know how lovely it is to run in the rain!

Oh it was just ridiculous. I ran on Thurs. Got up at 6 not 5; big mistake. Temp was where the sun hit was already too much.

However now I love the rain โ˜”๏ธ
