More ice cream than running weather (shame I seem to have so many races lined up)steepler said:Ran at 12.15 today and it was 27c!
Felt like I was melting when I stopped!
Just trying not to complain at present... it was just 2 weeks ago and I was wondering if that pesky wind and rain was ever going to end...
Just out of interest...
Does anyone know how heat effects race times for the average pale-and-pasty-used-to-UK-gloom-and-rain-type runner? I'm trying to work out how much of my slow 10km on Sunday I can blame on anything but me.
(Before anyone gets upset - I hope this question causes no offence - I am not intending this in any way as a racist or xenophobic question - but I think it is true that peeps acclimatised to different parts of the world will react differently to different temperature ranges - e.g. Craig Mottram last weekend was no doubt very happy - and maybe faster - with the Ozzie-like heat here in London)

Who's slept in compression socks?
General Running ChatReading Chrissie Wellington's book last night she talks about the importance of compression garments as part of the recovery process. As I'd had a particularly grueling 15 mile run yesterday I thought I'd give it a go. Still wearing them now. Felt quite snug actually & legs don't feel quite...- 15
