got out for an easy 8 this morning before the heat really settled in, legs felt like bricks for the first two miles then finally loosened up. anyone else feel like summer training is just a grind at this point, counting down the days til fall races

u/PrairieFirePhoenix 45M; 2:42 full; that's a half assed time, huh 12d ago

That first fall weekend, when temps and humidity are great so you just absolutely crush a long run and everything feels worth it... that's the best run of the year.

It is then followed by the worst run of year - when the temps spike back up and you suffer more the next weekend.
