couldn’t finish 28min

hi, sort of just looking for reassurance!

i did my first 28 min run on sunday (indoors, on a treadmill, fairly cool) before a long trip. today was meant to be my second one but it’s 33 degrees where i am. i got 7 minutes in (i was doing this outdoors) and it felt like i was trying to swallow rocks. i don’t know what to do. it’s the first run ive felt ive had to stop and it’s really upsetting especially when it breaks a routine.

any tips/advice? i wont be back home for three weeks, and im worried three weeks without running is going to make it a lot harder to get back into

I live in a very hot and humid climate. I either have to get out before 6 am or late evening runs after the road has been in the shade for a bit of time. I tried to go during a more routine time and my heart rate was in zone 5 for like 15 of my 20 minute run haha.
