Being menopausal it has been impossible for me to do my W1R2. I should’ve run on Friday but it has been way to hot.

How have you all coped with this problem?

Hi Rozeelala

i have found that my menopausal tropical moments don’t affect me when i run. Maybe they do buy i am so hoy from running I dont notce😁

As with all things I think you have to find a way around rather than being poleaxed.

Run early, wear damp clothes and take water to pour over your head.

Just to say, there is light at the end of the tunnel and Life after menopause is lovely 😊

Nooooo. I’m doing treadmill to make it easier to plan. My daughter said get up and do the run before work. I said there must be another way I’m not a morning person and I start work at 8

Obviously I’m going to have to get up earlier

😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣

It’s much nicer outside! Wear a cap and you’ll find the fresh air helps.

It’s quite hilly where I live so I wanted to do C25K on treadmill then do consolidation iutaide

Helenwheels. That is so simple and I didn’t think of it. I’m going to spray water as I run 👍🏾

Running early morning before it heats up works for me. Good luck 👍
