Was just running around home mate (SE England) but I lived in Edinburgh for five years and know how the heat sends people loopy there at the best of times let alone running!

I ran the Druridge Bay 10k and that was bad enough, no way could i have done a half marathon.
There was a breeze but it was like running in an oven.
Doing the coastal run in July which is 14 miles. Might just take it easy if its warm as I really struggle in heat

Heard a few people say this now. I did half too, set out for a Pb, but had to actually stop just after half way as just couldn't breathe - was just too muggy. Ended up 5 mins outside PB time. When the sun came out later for the mara it must have been horrendous. I'd enjoyed a few in the stewart brewery tent by then!

Aye, very warm first half of the half. I was cooking by 6/7 mile. It did seem to cool down a bit towards the finish. Very hot again for the marathoners. I enjoyed watching them from that pub at 10 miles

Just did my first 10k on a track today. Did it at Middlesbrough sports village just before visiting a friend at James Cook hospital which is down the road. I managed to get a PB of 47.03 but I wouldn't run that far round a running track again

did you run that on your own or with others? I reckon if you tan the Tees 10k, or whatever its now called, you would beat that PB easy.
wouldn't fancy those laps...

On my own, it was a bit boring tbh even though I was listening to music

I quite fancy doing the 400m in the masters but I constantly picking up injuries this year & I'm not a member of an affiliated club either. Maybe next year.

My first year and it's canny. Will do the 3000m again on Monday,not sure about the shorter distances. Looking forward to a decent crack at the mile

just read up on Escape To Meriden and seems intriguing and totally bonkers. Think I would run with someone else, perhaps chained together being an option.

Thoughts on doing the Wooler 28 miler 6 weeks after doing my main Autumn marathon, is that too close together? Do want to maybe do some ultras next year so thought this a decent one to start otherwise locally there doesn't seem to be much till march/April next year.
