Many thanks Sweder. It's appreciated. I suppose it works abit like a relay in this RC community. I'll be looking to pass the baton soon though

In truth I'm not too bad with sun and heat. I like the fact that muscles work better in heat; even if breathing becomes more difficult.

The thing I'm enjoying at the moment is the shorter distances. It didn't occur to me to run them before. But they fit-in better to pockets of free-time. And the long runs needed for base fitness can be done on a less frequent basis. Say, every two weeks. So they become abit of an event in themselves.

I've also mixed this up with cycling a couple of times a week to work. And there are a couple of small sections of my route where I ride hard and keep a mental note of pbs. This also adds to a build-up of fitness over time. Beats sitting in traffic.

But the most important aspect is trying to achieve a sensible weight. And I guess that's another good reason for prefering hot weather.
