Anybody else chicken out of their run today?

[RunBrianRun]

I took one look out the window 👀 and no way Jose was I going out in that! It’s blowing a right hoolie down ‘ere!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Yeah we did but went to bank for work this morning and saw a couple of runners on Worthing seafront, they were leaning into the wind and going very slow

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

How can anyone in Worthing run on the seafront in a storm force 10 🍃 wind, they certainly have the running bug 🐛

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

They did look strange leaning into the wind

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

In Southsea I only saw runners with the wind behind them, going like the clappers. Probably had cars at the other end!

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I must admit I did think about that as an option. For about one second. 😂

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

My PB was exactly that, a few months ago. It is exhilarating but does require a non running driver or two cars .

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I have had someone drop me off and then run back once but it wasn’t nearly as windy. No PB though but a nice easy run nonetheless. 👍

[roseabi in reply to RunBrianRun]

I'm planning to be driven to Worthing on Monday or Tuesday to do that 😊😊😊

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

Let me know if you need a pacemaker 😀

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

They were mighty brave to be out in that today. 😳

[sTrongFuse Graduate10]

No, but only because today was a rest day. That said, I did go out and do 10k during Storm Francis last year, so I'm probably not the best person to comment.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to sTrongFuse]

😅 that was seriously brave too!

[sTrongFuse Graduate10 in reply to sTrongFuse]

It wasn't as bad up here and it was pretty much the tail end of it but definitely one of my madder runs.

[Ian5K Graduate10]

Gone with the wind?!!

Nope. Tomorrow is another day.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Ian5K]

😂😂

[mancrunner1 Graduate10]

I did go out in Manchester for w6r1, it has been wet for several of my runs but today was the worst yet with the wind added in! Very pleased I did it though.

[nowster Graduate10]

I got it out of the way yesterday morning, finishing about 15 minutes before the rains hit. Tomorrow looks OK.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Very wise. The weather tomorrow looks to be better thankfully.

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

I retreated to the safety and boredom of the dreadmill yesterday, and today is even blowier in not-so-sunny Southsea. But given the electronic assistance, I managed a sub-40 8k, so even these clouds have a silvery lining ..... 😀

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

Well done on that sub 40 8k UTS 👍 you’re on a run of good form at the moment.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

No way BrianUK! Our pier and seafront looked the same as yours! Dexy5 and I had a very short walk along the prom and gave it up as a bad job! Hopefully tomorrow will be better - and safer!

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I also tried a walk today and it was really tricky along the front at times. Better weather tomorrow thankfully.

[GoogleMe Graduate10]

No, I took my son out to a farm park though and watched wallabies locomote.

[heathertemp]

I went out down the lagoon end but it was like being sandpapered by grit! Maybe I'll see you on the front sometime!

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to heathertemp]

Oh my, another Brighton and Hove runner 😀 We should start a local HU VRB running group 😃

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Guilty m’lud. Oldgirlruns and I managed a walk in it but over 50 mph. It would have been great to run west to east and get picked up in a car, but I was suffering a slight hangover from the night before.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I expect it helped a little with the hangover?

[LottieMW Ambassador]

My daughter’s partner ran Friday morning (I think he said 12k) in Hove, partly along the seafront!!! I just said no (in wet and windy Wales) 😬

[SkiMonday Graduate10]

I'm inland (North Bristol) so the weather wasn't so extreme. Plan called for a run on Friday and Saturday so I didn't have much choice. Was really glad that I wore my running jacket (got soaking wet anyway but it helped reduce wind chill). Was kind of windy on the hilltops.

[HWW74]

I’m just along the coast in East Preston, Having struggled to open my car door to drive to work yesterday morning , think I made the right decision to postpone my first post graduation run till this morning. Just finishing my coffee and out with my first try of the Zombie Run App. Decided to do 30 mins rather than 5k as been up a few hours already and off to Knockhatch to hang out with the Meerkats a little later! Have a great weekend 😊 🏃‍♀️

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

I wasn’t due to run yesterday as I was saving myself for (not) Parkrun this morning on the Isle of Skye. Currently drinking a cup of tea, watching the trees whipping about and the rain streaming down the campervan windows. I think I’ll stay here!

[TailChaser Graduate10]

It was pretty ‘bracing’ in north Wales too! Got really fed up being stuck in the caravan so we went to the promenade in Pwllheli and got soaked doing 6k. Thought of Dexy and UTS doing this each week! Definitely ‘interesting’ running conditions. Alas, we’ve given up on the holiday 😢

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

It does look as though next week will be better ar y Pen Llŷn.

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Of course! Unfortunately we didn’t have much choice. Very annoying.
