Anyone here tried this new thing called "jogging" ?

As I sit with my feet up, thinking that they hurt....and Ed is 10 years older...makes 💯 sense.

Something different, I have volunteered to help at the Robinhood 100 that I ran last year. I'll be doing an 8 hour stint overnight (that's when the magic happens). It was so inspiring having so many people helping out at the aid stations and I'm really looking forward to paying that forward.

That is awesome.   I bet you will see some great stuff and be able to help a few people in a significant way.

That is really cool. A nice way to give back.

That's what I hope. I know from experience last year that a simple coffee, a sandwich or a piece of chocolate can feel life changing in that moment 😂 someone did tell me that running 100 miles is just a glorified eating competition and they weren't wrong! 😜

We have 39c temperatures forecast for next week, the record here is around 37c 🥵 I may give the running a kiss for those few days 🥵

Tomorrow is around 32c so I'll get out nice and early to catch the cooler air

Wow that is hot!
Very humid and hot here, today.  Only 90, though it felt like much hotter.
I struggled to 9 miles.  Got pretty drunk last night and also forgot to eat at the halfway point,  as I normally do.  Ended up eating before the last mile but I'd already embraced the suck by then.     
My kid has covid so I thought perhaps I got it but so far I'm negative.  Guess it was just hungover/heat/energy related

Wow. Great job in the heat, especially with a hangover. I ran on the treadmill yesterday. I don’t get out early enough to beat the heat. Hope you are feeling better.

I am so ready and really excited. A few more days to go.

Got out this morning before it gets too hot, 8 x 400m repeats at 6min pace 🤮 1 mile warm and cool down. A good session but a clear reminder of why I prefer the longer, slower stuff 😂

Glowgirl enjoy your trip! My wife says some of the places you're going are stunning. You probably know one of them was used for filming of 'Hostel' but don't let that put you off 😁

Excellent workout.  That is what I do on Thursdays, generally 
  (Except at 7 pace, although I may hit high 6 on a few...and I'm at 7 reps now.)
Those are fun.

I tend to be slightly quicker than goal pace for 200m and then slower for the 2nd 200m. Something to work on. I can't say I have a great time doing them! But I feel good about it afterwards. Find out in 12 weeks if it's all worth it 😂

I have to really focus and not drift/meditate as I tend to when doing longer runs.  This makes it fun....
I'm sure you will kill it when the time comes!

So here in the east of England we had heat of 40.3c (104.5f) the highest temperatures we have on record were today so goes without saying... No running for the last couple of days 🥵 should be down to 28c tomorrow so I'll take my gear to work and hopefully get a 4 mile tempo run-commute home. 

We are not used to this extreme heat, were all a bit of a mess 😂😂

Hope you have air conditioning!

Stay cool. I did read that a lot of people in England don’t have air conditioning. Here, we are really spoiled with that.

Alot of offices and shops (stores) and restaurants will have but in all honesty we don't get enough consistent hot hot weather to justify it... But this week it looks like times are changing!

I lived in the UK for 4 years in the late 80s/early 90s and honestly I’m not sure I was ever too warm the entire time
