Hi ski great to see you all. I may need to adjust my target to 800km so 500miles, but I'll keep tracking 1000 for now.

I'm finding the heat really hard to run in. I'm on a treadmill, as I'm a single mom with little ones I can't leave. Which is annoying as I love to run outside.

Any tips for keeping cool? I have water and a fan already!

Where’s your treadmill atomic? I find mine easier if I can get through flow air so opening windows or doors plus the fan seems to help. Or could you do early morning/later at night runs when it’s cooler? I cannot run at night as it keeps me awake though

I was doing some reading online about running and how it’s affected by different stages of my cycle- I definitely feel more sluggish and ‘heavy’ feeling in the week or so before I come on. It recommended taking salts and various other things so maybe something like that might help? I definitely felt better after using them, despite the heat.

I was running tonight thinking gosh I miss running in the winter less people about, and much cooler! I struggle to breathe too in the heat. Only 5k tonight gave up as too sluggish feeling.

I think that's what I find. I'm asthmatic so get too hot then struggle to breathe properly and have to stop.

Treadmill is upstairs but in a south facing bedroom. No way I can move it. I keep the window wide open too. Maybe I need to get up early 😱😱😱 or perhaps do more shorter runs?

Am keeping at it though!

Fast 5k on my lunch break today, was feeling sluggish tom but realised I was running fast so tried to carry on! Got a few Strava medals on my short route which was nice boost.

Going on the Camino de Santiago from France to Spain next year.

It is a long strenuous hike up and down but whatever. Have the means TG to stop short when needed.

That is some walk!

I hate running, cannot see the point.

Wow a 600!!
