    Why does running drop off in the summer alias?

    Planning on doing another 4 miles tomorrow (maybe even today as am feeling fresh as a daisy!) :)

    My running has always dropped off during summer too as I don't like it too warm (even UK sunny weather works for me) but hopefully this year, especially if I decide to do the half mara in September, I'll keep it up.

    3 mile lunch time run done,getting bit quicker...slowly slowly.

  • I find I tend to run more in the summer :) I think I just feel more motivated and healthy at that time of year :p

    I love running at any time of year. Apart from in the middle of a very hot day - not too keen on that one

    Anyway been for a quick 4 mile run tonight in 35 mins, so not that quick but keeping at the 35mins from one run last week so maintaining the pace now

  • I would imagine if I lived somewhere that hot I wouldn't run in the summer either :D Would love to live somewhere sunny but only do so in my head :p

    3 mile walk this morning, planning on at least a 4 mile run this afternoon ....

    Oh gosh yes Alias, no way I could run in that, I struggle with 25 degrees!

    I'm also more active doing other things in summer so it always just stops. My time is autumn, always get the urge to start running then.

    Nice run sparkles!

  • 4 miles again today, I find I stay a lot more motivated when I just take it easy on myself, when it starts getting too much like hard work I give up :o What am I like?!?!? I will keep building on the 4 miles until I get to my fave distance (6 miles) then I will build up my speed. I will. Promise :p

  • 4.5 miles earlier today - may go for another run later, lots going on at the moment and running makes me feel better :o
