Couldn't do more than 7 mins because of the weather...pouring down and blowing a gale! Disappointed I wasn't prepared e ough and quit.

Try again Friday morning!

I did the same a couple of weeks ago. I was wet through and couldn't see where I was going!! Taught me something important. I don't like running in the rain!! Hope the weather is kinder on Friday!

Well done for getting out there. It is one thing getting caught in the rain, but another setting out in it!

You had a quick run and went for it... tomorrow is another day and the run will be there:)

You can do it! Just get out there on Friday, relax and enjoy it - put this behind you as a practice in the rain.

Thank you!

I thought I didn't mind running in the rain, turns out I have rain requirements!

Never mind! You did your best. It can be very tricky indeed when it's gusting at you from all directions. You can get very out of breath and feel like you're making absolutely no progress, which can be demoralising when you're new to it

As you get stronger you will cope better with all sorts of weather

Look forward to your next run. Go nice and steady and enjoy it. I hope by then the wind will have cleared off for you. Can't guarantee it will be dry though

So turns out it wasn'tthe weather...it was the run! Really struggled today but I did it (just) any ideas why I'm struggling? When I've done 25 minutes twice before?!
