so, it's dark, wet, cold and blowing a hooley, so do I settle on the sofa like any sensible human being might do?

No, I head out and do a 5k lap of my village.

I hold you lot entirely responsible for what I've become...

I honestly believe there's no such thing as bad weather, or good weather in equal measure. The weather just is. We tend to see it, feel it, and think of it in our own individual ways. Some guys here avoid sunshine and complain about warm temperatures (l LOVE hot weather running), some dislike rain (what is there to dislike?!), some folks are keen to rail against the cold bites (layer it and run faster!). In other words, there's no such thing as whatever weather. There's just our will power in order to beat our own perceptions, and on that front you've done a great job by going out and treating your body well. 👍

I love that minion look ( yellow vest and headtorch) , sport it myself for morning runs. Run whatever the weather, you are a runner. We are glad to have assisted.

Happy running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Well, so long as the running surface is safe, that is.
