If it's wet find a hat or a lightweight hoodie. You'll be fine. Just go dead slowly

Have fun 🙂 Bon voyage 🤗

Good luck for your first run. Don't worry about the weather, just do it! I am renowned for hating the cold & wet but did my first run in Feb in the sleet & cold wearing a beanie & several layers. The sense of achievement was just great!!

Welcome on board

If the weathers not great embrace the rain 😄

It's amazing how I hate getting caught in rain when out walking but when out running it's nice when it rains! 😬

Welcome - this is a lovely forum. You can't go wrong now. I am v selective about the camber of the pavements and do things like walk up slight inclines so I can jog/shuffle down to give myself the best chance possible. It's all about finding ways of making it easy at this stage (short of lying on the couch listening to the podcast!)
