Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

Had a nice run past Friday. I was off from work, so I planned to run in the morning before the 28C temps would ruin my day. However my run was plagued by other weather. Just before I planned to go there was a sudden nearby lightning strike, followed by a few more in the coming minutes. Kinda spooked me.

After that was over though, I decided to go for it. Pushed a bit harder than normal and managed to get a nice below 55 min 10K. Pushing just on the edge of comfort in the humid 24C, so it was actually still relaxing. Can't wait for the lower temps now that the autumn is about to begin. Running in the warm conditions of summer is a fun challenge, but it definitely limits the peak performance..

Yeah I hate running in warmer weather too. Always feel my best on those cold mornings in winter.

Well winter here has other problems. I think I prefer 25C over 3C and rain or running over re-frozen snow and ice. I also tend to get a runny or blocked nose from cold air. But spring and fall generally have the best weather for running here.
