2015 Running Thread Part 6

51.82

At 6am whilst it was still vaguely tolerable!!

crop top is bound to be cooler surely, any clothing will slow down the rate of heat loss from the skin?

a wet t shirt is very cooling though :o

I wouldnt rule out a crop top...but then there'd be a whole extra area of uncovered skin to cover with sunscreen.
I really dont want to be at all tanned if I can help it!

anglaise do you mean a crop top? I wouldn't dare wear one of those around here, too many letches sitting in the traffic .

Thanks for the welcomes

I've been in my flat struggling with the heat all day. I have no idea how I'm going to cope running this evening but I've decided to do an out and back run to see how I get on.....then if I'm struggling I can head straight back home.

I'm wishing I'd invested in some running shorts now....I usually stick with my trusty old capris but they were too heavy on Monday and it was only around 23 c then. I'm going to swelter tonight!!

Adding in 9.64 very sluggish miles from this morning. God it's hot, even in the woods with loads of shade. I managed to go arse over tit over a tree root as well, I think because my legs just didn't want to work really. Only hurt my pride. Fortunately there was no-one around to see my embarrassment....

Welcome DizzyNorthernBird

lastqueen I spent my teenage years in HK...small world. My sister is back at the moment showing my niece the sights, she was born there but they left when she was 2 so she doesn't remember it at all. The heat was the main reason I stuck to sprints when I was at school. I hated long distance running.

Am quite pleased with my personal June total - 134 miles. By far and away the most mileage I've run in a month.

38.92

Sunday looks a lot cooler! Down south it looks like it's going to drop around 10c by then. You'll be fine :)

Don't forget, swimming is good cross training and is nice and cool!

Oh yes for the whole thread not individually! I run about 12-15miles a week at the moment.

Combined total Shovetheholly.

cinnamon said Totals are each month

Wait, what? You guys run 1,500 miles a MONTH?! How is that possible?!

I confess to being intimidated.

Good news purpletoes, I love my club!!

Well done on juneathon AnnPerkins and hope the headache passes quickly!

Was too hot last night Lilicat1013, left dogs home but will take them for a run at 6am tomorrow as it's pretty comfortable when I walk them normally at 6.30. It was better under the trees last night than in the open, glad for the forest!

Welcome DizzyNorthernBird! I was in your position last year ttc, have an 11 week old now . Good luck in your hm, if it helps I only did one 12 mile run before the three that I've done.

Well done to all who are making it out in this heat. I keep thinking I should run home but I just really don't think I'm up to it it's roasting here

I went out with some trepidation on account of all the 'death valley warnings and because I've never run in hot weather before.
It was hot but I was able to find a comfortable pace, I cut the run a bit short to be on the safe side but overall I'm happy with how it went

Sorry x post Dizzy. Sounds like you've got a good plan there. Any chance of going early tomorrow morning when it might be cooler too?

Well done Bobbles, that's brilliant! And well done Ann on completing Juneathon and carrying it forward too

Glad you are uninfected Lilicat . Zombies and how to survive an attack are a frequent subject of discussion in our house as the DS's are into them. Consequently I have an ongoing fear of meeting some when out running
I think you will probably find it much easier running in the cold. I definitely do.

I feel faint thinking about your running conditions Aggressive We hit 29 degrees here yesterday and I would have really struggled to run in that. Good luck with your climb challenge.

Welcome MadMonkeys every mile counts

Welcome DizzyNorthernBird too. I've also got a hm a week on Sunday. I'm not doing any more long runs till then, partly because I'm away on hols. If you've got plenty of distance running built up already you probably don't really need to do another, especially in this heat, but if it would make you more confident then take it slowly this evening and make sure you hydrate well all through the day, not just beforehand.

5.3 this morning before it got too hot. Lovely cool coastal breeze, but it seems to come from all directions so I am always running into the wind
Accompanied by DS1 again. I quite fancied a rest day today but he was keen so off we went, and feel much better for it
13.5 + 5.3 = 18.8

Thanks halle! I'm thinking about heading out and waiting until the first few miles are in before I decide what to do. There's a point after four miles where I can head back if I'm struggling which will result in 7 miles instead of 13. I can also do the same for an 11 mile route. I must be mad! Drinking lots of water today and will take an electrolytes tablet in my water bottle.

I really don't want to miss this 13 mile run. My training hasn't gone to plan (motivation dip) so I've only done one 13 mile run and was meant to do four. It's not a pb race anyway but I just don't want to struggle on the day.

Welcome Dizzy! I haven't run for nearly a week. Am going on a run tomorrow evening. Was considering today but way too hot and its supposed to cool down a bit tomorrow.

Hello can I join in? Just discovered this thread so will catch up on the previous pages!

I'm on the ttc boards but it's not the right place for talking about running and I find the runners world website forums too cliquey!

How is everyone coping with the heat? I've been putting off a 13 miler since the weekend but it's my last one before a half marathon a week on Sunday . Wondering whether I should attempt it at some point tonight if it's cooler.....
