What a difference the rain makes

10 Replies

For the first time in weeks I was able to run for 30 mins relatively easily yesterday, because the temperature had dropped and I had the pleasure of heavyish rain showers. Heat and humidity make me feel as though I'm dragging a heavy weight along and on one outing I could barely make 16 minutes non-stop. It's restored my confidence :-). Hoorah for drizzle!

I was out at 7.30 this morning & it was lovely to be out in fresh, cool air. Happy running!

but once out there I agree it was very nice to run in the fresh rain: it makes you feel much stronger ;)

It's so much more fun when it's cooler! The rain hasn't arrived in Munich yet though.

The heat and humidity just suck all the energy out and leave me feeling like a flopped out mop :-)

It was still quite warm first thing, here in Surrey, when I ran - lot of sunshine😩 . It has now clouded over, cooled down and there is a lovely breeze! Wish I was running now!!

I love it too! Hated going out in the rain before running - how it changes us!

Lucky it's nearly always raining / drizzling / dull here in Scotland , only run once in heat which was soooo hard
