Get Running Forums

So London (not sure about the rest ok the uk) is crazy hot at the moment, it's so bad that i haven't been out for a run since Saturday. I'm hoping to go out once it's dark and hopefully a bit cooler tonight but I'm starting week 4, which I've been massively worried about anyway, and was wondering if anyone has any advice. I'm really worried that the couple of days I've not been out will have set me back and that I will be defeated by the sun!

I know the feeling, im in Essex, so not too far away. I have been waiting until the early evening to go out, so it is still warm, but not as hot as during the day. The other option is going out early, but i am not a morning person!

Sometimes the best thing to do when it's so cripplingly hot is just run indoors. A gym, at a friend's house with a treadmill, maybe consider buying your own if you have the money and the space for one. Otherwise, you have to wake up early before the heat sets in, or wait until after the sun goes down and it starts cooling off a little, which can be inconvenient and really mess up your day.
