Friday Evening - Street Run (6/13/13km)
Not really sure of the benefit of this running in
the heat. In fact i'm beginning to feel that it may
even by somewhat dangerous! There is a reason that
certain events are cancelled in this type of weather
- anyway i hate it !! I forced myself to do a 5km run
with another km for cooldown this evening and it was
very very slow. I just find it very difficult running
in the heat and i really don't enjoy it at all. I guess
perhaps what i got from it might be a little extra
mental toughness. I certainly wouldn't race in this
heat so i'm not sure that i really need to acclimatise
to it. 6kms with the first 5 in 31 and a half.
I think i will go back to morning runs again. It seems
the only way i'm going to keep the mileage going.

G'day Paul, whilst I couldn't run on Friday for parental reasons, I wouldn't have run Fri at all. 6am it was 30 degrees already and it never let up.
A couple of my friends ran Mountain to Surf Fri evening and both felt extremely poor afterwards, one of the girls finished 6th in the women and she saw a lot of people falling over and not getting back up.
Extreme and I think you are right, there is probably more harm than benefit and sitting inside would have been my option.
