You’re taking the pre-race nutrition seriously, Keith. Good to read 
Rob, sounds like you’re having a great time. I was sure I posted this already but I must have moved away without posting, but I went to Paris once although it was a long time ago - year 2000 I think (I’d have to check pics to confirm but I think it was the year after I graduated). I’d like to go back.
I didn’t run today but did an easy 50mins or so on Zwift. Hoping to give it a bit of effort at parkrun tomorrow, and forecast is around 20deg here at 9am tomorrow so not horrendous.

Back from my run
Garmin says 70% heat acclimatisation now and it was a lot better today, body felt great I just had a dry mouth and was thirsty but felt stronger which was good

Even I'd hesitate to buy chocolate on a day like today
I was going to go out for a walk while the washing machine did its thing, but it's too hot even for that now. I've done some training for Valencia marathon instead, in the form of my homework from this week's Spanish class.

Big G - early mornings aren't too bad so you should be OK even at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
I see Exeter have had to cancel a parkrun tomorrow as travellers have today moved onto the route. Might be the last bunch just been chucked out of one of our local parks.
I haven't been to Paris.
I think Keith always takes his pre and post race food seriously. 🙃
Well done Pix, seems you're enjoying your hot runs.
Vrap - would need a cool bag for any chocolate shopping today.
There's very few people out and about here in this weather today 🙄

I like the way Keith really works on pre and post nutrition😃
I was also going to go out for walk but seems I had a nap instead😁also a solero lolly.
Paris was 1978🙂

Today I enjoyed it shades but the previous days have been necessary slogs, so it’s working!
Garmin put my VO2MAX up 1 this week too, highest it’s ever given me. I don’t believe it as a number, per se, but the increase confirms improved fitness so I’m happy.
Only chocolate to buy or eat today should encase ice cream 🍦

WP - a nap is the better choice in this weather, especially as you don't enjoy hot weather.
Pix - I don't believe Garmin's Vo2 stats either but it can still detect improvements.
My Garmin isn't sophisticated enough for heat acclimatising info, which is just as well.

I don’t believe a lot of it’s stats but as you say the trend I do!
