GNR training run blog week 20: 2 july 12>

Well no running done on weeks 17,18 and 19 as i wanted a good rest after managing to achieve my half marathon distance.I wanted to give my knees a rest in particular as i suffer knee pain sometimes.
Now on week 20 and i've started with smaller runs which i am supposed to do several times a week and then back onto a long run at the end of the week but that will be next week.
I just  rejoined a gym so at least if the weather is poor i can run indoors,and i can do some overall body conditioning.
I have done 2 runs this week,a 5 mile one on thurs which was quite difficult as it was hot and i had'nt hydrated enough prior to the run.
The second run was 6 miles on sat before work,still hot and difficult but i took my drink just in case,it is becoming noticeable that it is extremely difficult to run in heat,even 20c seems too hot,so i am going to have to purchase a decent running cap and soak it in water to at least try and help.

Thats all for this week :)
