Argh, I stopped. Week 7 Run 1

Despite Jo telling me I could, I couldn’t.

That’s never happened before...😔

I'm also a ginger (well I was, as much grey as ginger now) and find the heat awful. I run really early in the morning as I know I would melt otherwise.

You can do this, just take a days rest and then try again - it doesn't matter how many attempts it takes you as long as you don't give up.

I’m also ginger and fair skinned! I find it soooooo difficult in the heat! I almost pass out and overheat! And literally can not run any more! I then purchased a peaked cap and a cool towel! And also try and run as early as I can! It works wonders 👍 it’s still hard but I highly recommend a cap and cooling towel 👍 makes such a difference!

I’m another red head -always took exception to ginger 🤣 - and I just don’t do heat. Give me dull and cool any day. xx

Ha, 12C that's 54F, on Thursday the temperature in parts of East and south east England is to be 33C/92F, that is hot, even very early morning temperatures are not to go below 18C/64F
