Week 4 Run 2

Another warm one! Might try an earlier run, next time! I’m finding the second part of the session, easier! I’m starting to find a rhythm! Hope this is a sign of things to come! 🙏

Running when it’s warm can be so hard - last summer, when we had a really hot spell in July/August, I was getting out at 5:30am to try and avoid the heat! 😱 Well done on your run 👏👏👏. If you are finding the second part of the session easier that will be because you are nicely warmed up and getting fitter. 👍 Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I’m running in whatever I can put together! I had a base layer under my cycling top! Wouldn’t of been a pretty sight taking it off, mid run! It wasn’t too bad, tbh! Prob just been a bit of a drama queen! Need to open my wallet & get some proper gear! 💰 💰

I would have thought a t-shirt alone would be enough in these temps! 😂 I always get caught out in springtime. A couple of months ago I was running in a long-sleeved running top and a t-shirt over top, and was far too hot halfway through my run. So, I stopped in what I thought was a deserted field to strip off the layers and pop just the tee back on. Only to surprise a dog walker with the sight of me in just a sports bra! He smirked, I went red with embarrassment! I’d do it all over again though - hate being too hot when running! 🥵

Ha ha! Brilliant! Hopefully, I can ditch the sports bra, soon! 😂
