Episode Synopsis

Ep 56: Summer Running Tips & Embracing the Heat ☀️
In this week’s episode of the Women’s Running Collective Podcast, Hayley and Jussie dive into all things summer running — how to stay motivated, safe, and strong when the temps rise.
They share their weekly running updates, including training for a fast 5K and the upcoming Fernleigh 15, along with honest reflections on challenges, recovery, and staying consistent through the heat.
You’ll hear practical, tried-and-tested summer running tips — from when to run and what to wear, to hydration hacks, cooling strategies, and how to adjust your pace without guilt. Plus, they chat about the importance of sunscreen, electrolytes, and listening to your body when conditions get tough.
There’s also a sprinkle of fun — a creative use for car air fresheners, a new running romance book rec, and some thoughts on the Garmin x Strava data-sharing drama that’s had runners talking.
Whether you’re training through the heat or just trying to stay consistent over summer, this episode will help you feel prepared, confident, and connected to your running community.
