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)

The come back trail
General Running ChatSo used to run about 20 miles a week around 8 years ago(cant believe that time as flown by). To be honest I think it helped with mental health as well as physical. So as well as being currently about 2 stone overweight I think I need something to clear my head as I tend to over think. Might be...- 3

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...- 14

Long Run
General Running ChatHi I jumped up my mileage from 7 miles to 12 and my legs are to tight to run for most of the following week. I ve done this because the group I belong to go out on a long runs Sundays and I like it. Can I just do cardio at the gym instead of running and just continue this until my legs adjust.- 2
