In the same way that people who live in hot countries adjust to running in the heat, I am working on the theory that running during this hot spell is going to eventually lead to us all to smashing our PB's in the autumn and winter!
That's my theory anyway

I felt hideous and I was only volunteering.... we had a heat exhaustion collapse. He's ok though. On the plus side I met the lovely K8 at last

parkrun PB whilst touristing at Congleton today, first time that's happened since 2011 so well chuffed. That's 2 PBs (5K and 5M) in the last 5 days!
Beautiful and friendly event. A flat, fast, 3 lapper around what one of the locals called 'Congleton beach'. Well worth a visit if anyone is ever in the area. Nice little cafe too

@Weath, Congleton is my 3rd nearest parkrun, it's a nice course isn't it? Also love that one lap of the mere is exactly one mile, it's like they created it for runners

Thanks Doc. Really am enjoying my running at the moment more than ever and I think that somewhat takes the pressure off.
Mix that up with some of the interesting places/people I'm meeting on a current little bout of touristing (Boston was lovely last week too) and my current physical/mental state is just about perfect.

@Sigh - not only is the actual course nice (and yes, the 1M lap is a little bit too uncanny lol), it's located in such a nice setting as well. Today's weather made it feel like we were on our holidays, was just so relaxing.
Thanks for the 'grats!

Well done Weath!
Andrew65, I like that theory, hope it’s eight!
Nice bit of tourism at Gnoll today. Nice scenic one in a country park, 3 laps of increasing length each time, very warm for running though.
Hoping to do the fairly-new Aberdare parkrun in a few weeks time, and will be doing Mile End when we’re in London in August.
