Sooooo good to be back at parkrun! Proud of my friend and fellow @261clublancaster coach Jude who did her first one with me today. Beautiful morning on Morecambe prom. It felt safe, spacious and rather wonderful. So many smiles on the faces of runners and marshals. Can’t wait for next week 😊 Did you parkrun today? #loveparkrun #runwell

A bit of first aid for you. With ‘extreme heat’ weather warnings in the U.K. it’s important to know how to prevent heat exhaustion becoming heat stroke. There’s full info on my blog and IGTV about these conditions and what the difference is. Heat stroke is potentially life threatening.

I ran before breakfast today. I rarely do this now, I used to do it a lot. Running on empty doesn’t suit me any more. My metabolism has changed over recent years and I’ve had to adapt to it. My body likes to have fuel to run. Today I just got up and wanted to go before the day got too hot and work enveloped me so I just headed out the door. An easy, steady three miles was fine but I wouldn’t have wanted to do more without food. Do you run fasted?

Anyone else have their tomato face on today? 🍅 I’m very conscious that I go redder and sweat more than I ever used to when I run. I’m sure it’s the peri-menopausal thermoregulation challenges! Particularly so on a day like today ☀️ Thing is, I don’t care anymore. I know what I’m doing is good for me. I’m taking control of my future. I’m proud. Red is definitely the new black! Leave me a tomato if you don’t care either! 🍅

Take care running in this heat folks. My tips are:

Lots of you sharing the problem of having difficulty being a consistent runner. Trying to smooth out the roller coaster🎢 isn’t always easy but there are lots of things that can help. Here’s my take homes from my recent blog and IGTV. I hope you like the reel I made with these in too - having fun learning how to make reels!
