Grrrrrrrr.......it's too hot to run!

I tried to do day 3 of the 'couch to 5k' today and it was 25 ish degrees at 9.30 this morning - I just couldn't do it, there was no shade and I had to stop

I'm so pissed off, it's going to have to be Monday that I go again as it's just as hot tomorrow apparently.

I started this week (at least 4 stone overweight, 40 yrs old and never having run for 25 years) and I just want to GET ON with it.

You have to get up early sorry, I live in Africa and for 8 months of the year I have to be out the door by 7 or I would melt, luckily it's winter now so I can have a lie in and wait for it to warm up a bit

I go later. After 7pm it's cooler then. I did couch to 5k last year at 9 stone overweight and soon learnt that I would either have to be up by 6 or go late at night. I chose late and did 30 day shed DVD at 6.30am instead. Fast forward 18 months and now a stone- stone and half overweight and even though running is easier it still has to be done early or late.

I love running now and even get up early on holiday to run. Ran up and down international drive in Orlando, the hills around perranporth in Cornwall. I love how you can just put your trainers on and go.

Hot here too! 35c most days ATM. I run before 9 am or I would run after 8/9 pm if I wasn't alone with the kids. :)

Tried a walk/bike ride for ds at 10 today and the sweat was pouring off me!

Take it easy, there is no point making yourself pass out!

I tried to do Parkrun this morning and it was just too hot! Very frustrating. I'll try to do the 5k tomorrow night instead I think.
