Struggling to run in heat!!

[Qvisty]

I’m currently in Italy and it’s ridiculously hot from early morning to evening. I can’t run at night as my house is in the mountains in the middle of nowhere so there’s no street lights!! Anyway I’ve managed to run every morning but only managing 2 miles but in England I was doing just over 4 km!!! I’m on week 9 run 1 at home and really wanted to graduate this summer 😢. Thanks for listening to my ramblings lol

Early, run gently and slowly, forget distance..just run and enjoy that wonderful location

Wow I’m worn out just thinking about the running well done why are you worried about it you are doing brilliantly only two miles??? I can’t run for two minutes 🤪 And you live surrounded by mountains I would just chill and take in the view

That’s actually great... in the heat something has to give, we go shorter or a lot slower... but the warm weather training really helps come the lovely autumnal weather.

I’m amused that you’re measuring runs in Italy in miles and runs in England in km, and the difference isn’t that big... 2 miles is 3.218km or there abouts... so you’re running about 80% of your pace in cooler weather here... I’d say that’s pretty good really... i hazard a guess that people who pay for warm weather training holidays would be aiming for 80% pace.
