In case you've been living in a really nice air-conditioned home under the shade of a giant tree and haven't noticed, it's really hot right now.
Still, as much as some would welcome the excuse, the heat is not a good reason to ditch your fitness goals, nor is it enough of a reason not to head outside and enjoy some sunshine.
All it means is there are a few extra precautions to take, to make sure you enjoy the outdoors safely.
Malcolm Law, Kiwi adventurer and keen trail ultrarunner, is not one to shy away from a challenge, be it in the snow or extreme heat.
Law, who previously made headlines for running 50 marathons over 50 mountains in 50 consecutive days to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand and is now currently on a quest to climb one million feet this year, is the founder of Wild Things, a nationwide trail running club with the goal of getting all New Zealanders enjoying the outdoors.
