Unusually Hot!

[MaxMilo]

Hi all. I’ve been really encouraged by all your posts in this very difficult season of our lives. I ran wk 8 run 2 tonight and struggled a bit towards the end...why?? Answer is easy - I was so hot! Normally here in NE Scotland it’s pretty chilly and usually blowing a gale too! I went out tonight in my usual winter garb and by halfway realised that actually it was 14 degrees!! Sweat pouring off me 🤣. But seriously my new found running has been so good for me in every way and if I as an overweight, very unfit granny age 60 can do it then anyone can! Keep running and keep safe!

Good on you. Time to dig out the warmer weather gear eh?

Well done! We did the same thing this morning. Halfway through our run, I was trying to undo my running jacket and take off my gloves! 😆

How lovely to finally be peeling off the layers instead of piling them on! Well done on your run - week 8 nearly done!

Same with me yesterday!! The sun was so warm - it was lovely but I was sweltered!

It was like that this morning and this afternoon when I walked my dog on a deserted beach. We saw a seal cub come up the beach then turn round and head back to the sea to cool off. Even the birds were social distancing 😂😂🤯

Well done you!! One of the best tips I was given was that you add 10 degrees on to the temp when you are running, so you were running in 24 degrees, which would be a great summer day in NE Scotland (my home area too). I dress for running at temp+10 - still sweat but not overheat or dehydrate!! Hope this helps and keep going!!
