3K Today and next goals set

I have been thinking what's next and thinking that I do like a plan to follow.

So I've decided to do a 10K in September, I'm going to consolidate for another 12 weeks and then follow JuJu's 10K plan that has worked twice before for me.

My focus on the next 12 weeks will be nutrition and some strength training.

I've never really ran over the summer months and this will be a new experience for me.

It's great to have a plan - wish you success in it 😁. No I haven't run during the summer either as I started in August last year. We don't know what it's like to be too hot yet do we 😂.

The trick to running in hot summer months is to get out running before the day gets too warm.

Not in the mornings, I hope. Round here it isn't getting to tee shirt and shorts running temperatures before 9am.

Go to a weather forecast site like this metoffice.gov.uk/weather/fo... put in your location and look for the "Feels like" temperature.

Comfortable tee shirt running temp for a UK acclimatised person is around 10-12°C.

I’m already trying to train my lazy butt to get out of bed earlier these days so by the time the heat of summer comes I hope be able to get up and out early..........that’s the plan anyway. 🙄 we shall see.
