Omg how hot? Congratulations on whatever run you do!

Just completed wk5r2 in 28°C in the sun, and oh my was I hot! Runwise everything was mainly fine but the heat really did need some mental strength to overcome.

So whoever is going out for a run this week in this heat good luck and well done!

Well done on completing run 2 of week 5 in the 28C heat, it would be advisable for you to run, run 3 of week 5, that's 20 minutes of non stop running in the early morning to avoid the higher temperatures of later in the day, even then its to be warm but not as hot as the afternoon, good luck for that run, take it slowly, once you have completed it you will be very proud of yourself. 😊 🏃🏾

Thanks for the tip, that's a good idea!

I just finished week 8 run 3 and I really struggled and feeling a bit sick now. I did run 2 on Sunday in the drizzle and increased my pace quite a bit so probably went into this run a little too cocky! The uphill I do with about 7 mins to go nearly killed me tonight! I can't do week day early morning runs so may have to run later in evening on Thurs.

Oh my I did week 7 run 1 and struggled every minute! The heat was awful - stoopid mistake I won’t be making again!

[f1madman Graduate in reply to HelenofTroy123]

Well done on getting through it! Hope you manage to avoid the heat next time

[f1madman Graduate in reply to Jenny115]

Oh gosh try and get hydrated sounds like a really tough run, well done on completing it!

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Well done !

It must have been exhausting !

How about the heel strikes ?

I'm planing the same run tomorrow VERY early ( well, very for me 😂)

[f1madman Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Yeah it was my most tiring run but it was mainly because of the heat. Heelstrike wasn't bad thanks I took shorter strides and landed more midfoot. All in all pretty happy with myself today!

Good luck lol I think the coolest temp is before 7am - I'm too sleepy to get up too early right now.

[Jools2020 Graduate]

Well done for the run in the heat - I couldn’t do it! Running tomorrow at 5am. Getting up early is worth it for me, I can’t even walk in the heat, I just got exhausted watering the plants!

[f1madman Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Wow that's some real dedication I'd be a zombie at 5am, but if it's allowing you to run in cooler conditions then good shout! Good luck for tomorrow!

Well done on completing w5r2 in this heat, excellent work! Good luck for your next run, I'm sure you'll smash it.

I tried to do w8r2 but ended up walking the second half, I was just too hot and I think I started off too fast (even though I was going really slowly).

[f1madman Graduate in reply to Schoolie]

Thanks, that's unlucky but I'm sure you'll complete it on the next attempt. Hopefully it's a little cooler next time for you.

[Tap_per]

Well done! I dont think I could have completed a run in that heat!

[f1madman Graduate in reply to Tap_per]

Thanks if I could do it I'm sure you could too. But it wasn't very nice to do lol. Felt better after it though

[Workingathome Graduate]

Very well done! Tonight was the first time I gave up and stopped running, I was only a couple of minutes in and decided it was wayyy too hot so I had a lovely stroll instead

[Fatty2001 in reply to Workingathome]

I wish I had your good sense. 😀

[f1madman Graduate in reply to Workingathome]

That does sound super sensible lol

[SJ60]
