I was up earlier but the park next to me does not allow you in until 8am! Never mind it’s good experience (that’s what I convince myself)

8 am is much too late in my book.

I’m new to the area I moved here to work during lock down so not that familiar with the area! I can run around the site which I work but I get bored quickly running were I live/work, maybe I should try that during the hot spell.

Running in warm weather is all about preparation. Proper and regular hydration, light and bright tech clothes and early starts. By early I mean before the sun gets above the horizon. If the sun is already up, run in shaded areas and slow right down, up to a minute slower than your regular pace. I LOVE running in hot weather (temperatures above 30c) and see this for what it is (warm not hot) and when prepared well everyone can have a good time. Having a good time is the point of all this.

Good warm run for you today, good time too, I hope you are enjoying your running and next 5K might be sub 35 minutes.

Tell me about it I did enjoy it even though it was tough! Maybe sub 35 if I can get a cool breeze 👌🏼🤣

Definitely a possibility, good luck, as it's now getting nearer to summer try running as early as possible.
