UK Heat Wave

[Matt]

Not used to running in this sort of heat. Had a nice ice lolly after my run

Lol, wuss I say! 😛
Yea it's been a tad extreme, we had the hottest day on record yesterday.

 

[Matt]

I've got the HR recording from my runs. I could barely get my HR down below 185, even when jogging slowly 🙁

 

[AdamD]

Yikes, don't over do it, especially in this heat.
And drink lots of water.

I've had a day off today. These are the stats for the 2nd half of the run where it was through the roof

 

[AdamD]

I think my BPM is 190 just sitting in the sun light, let alone moving around in it, lol

Since I started running, my resting HR had gone down to 46bpm

Hey, it's not that bad!

I'll probably get a heart rate monitor watch at some point, I want to track/chart my resting heart rate as I lose weight.

I've got a strap that I can also wear on my wrist that will sync with my iPhone. I bought it to use as alternative to my Garmin chest strap, but it doesn't work very well through my tattoo on my left arm.

Your car barely has any miles on it.

Mine is at 105,500miles

Yeah, it's pretty low mileage. It's a 2009 Fiat 500. For the first year, the wife only used to drive it to work and back, and now she uses my car (because it fits my daughters child seat in the back, and has 5 doors). I use the 500 for commuting to work now.
