A very hot 5k run yesterday

Hopefully your all managing to get out there and run. I am still running once sometimes twice a week. Just getting a maintenance run in. I did this yesterday I went late around 8 pm but it was still over 23 degrees. I found this hot and hard but I managed a 5k in 28.59 mins a bit slower than previous runs but did manage it. Glad I had my ice cool towel as it kept me a little cooler until it started to dry out. Showered when I got back but didn’t get dry or cooler for over an hour or two. Checking in on here regularly to see how everyone else is doing? Stay healthy stay running stay posting. Glad I went yesterday as it’s even hotter tonight.

Great pace you have 😊. I’m really slow , with my pace between 12-13. It’s harder in this heat , especially when the motivation is to get out there .

Thanks I just run and listen to my music and yes I find it hard in the heat and at the moment struggling to find acceptable suitable conditions to run in. So will just carry on with maintenance runs. It’s expected to stay this hot or even hotter so will probably run next week now.

Glad to hear you’re still getting out there despite the heat 👍😁

Thanks hope you are too. Taking it easy down here at temperatures not really helpful.
