Well never thought I’d get this far so very pleased 😄👍

Iv thoroughly enjoyed my running up to now, but have to confess I don’t like running in the cold weather ☹️🤔

I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark , only have the w’ends to run in the day light as well

Any one else like me ? What do you do run in the gym instead 😂

I might ask for a treadmill for xmas 🎅 🌲

Happy December everyone x

Hiya! I have the same issue! It’s sooo frustrating, I can’t run on my lunch break either as I only get 30 minutes. I have been doing 2 runs on weekends through the day, but I’m really scared about running on my own in the dark. Well not technically on my own, as my 8 yr old son comes with me as I don’t have childcare, so he is being ‘encouraged’ to love running too by having to join me on the couch 2 5k journey. But even so, running in the dark is still super scary. Treadmill for crimbo may well be the way forward! Sorry I haven’t been able to offer any practical advice, but at least you know you’re not alone! x

I admit I’ve let the weather stop me this week despite having a waterproof running jacket but I don’t really want to join a gym so I think I’m just going to face the cold and rain.

Good luck with your next few runs nearly there 👍

I don’t like the gym either so will have to hope the wind and rain stays off , don’t mind the cold so much just the other elements 🤦‍♀️ thanks

I'm a cold body but warm up fast when running, so i don't mind anything but ice and snow. Ice and snow render me housebound as I have always, all my life from childhood, slipped on it. Where I live gets more than its share of ice and snow! I wish I had space for a treadmill. I would go to the gym, but i have to walk up a steep icy hill to get to it! Boo.

Early morning with the right gear can be brilliant.. I graduated the week before Christmas in 2015... and I loved the runs..

I have a cross-trainer for icy conditions, which is when I absolutely do not run. Think Bambi! I use it in my Studio, with the door open, so I can pretend I am out there

A warm hat, and gloves, and socks and a Buff, can all help to snug you up when you head out

Welcome to the week 8 club!! The early nights really do scupper is a bit eh? Keep going though and as you say, nearly at the shortest day then it’ll start getting better 👍
