Weather!

I want to go out for my run and I’d go out in the rain...but torrential rain and 50mph winds?! I think I draw the line at that!!

Isn’t it frustrating and very annoying?!

I started running in May when it was warm with light mornings and then had summer and autumn which were great to run in so this winter I have really struggled with the dark, the cold and the wet. Even though I have graduated and run for 30 minutes and also done quite a few 5K runs, recently I have struggled to even run a solid 30 mins. I cant wait for spring again to get motivated. I am going to start doing some interval training using week 1 to try and get going again. You will really see a difference in your running once Spring eventually arrives! Good luck

This is exactly how I feel. The weather where I live is so wet and cold it doesn't help my motivation.

I started in December! I figure that if I can run all through winter, spring and summer will be a breeze!!

Sometimes discretion is the better part of valour and staying in can be a wise choice! Just make sure you do go out at the next opportunity and don’t succumb to the couch’s dastardly plan to reclaim you!

Oh no, I’m itching to get out there!! I feel awful when I can’t! Brightened up now but can’t be bothered to go out with 2 kids, and we are baking a cake!!

Just seized my moment and went out while it was dry! Kids miles ahead on their scooters as I plodded along! Feel awesome now though, so glad I did it!

I started in January, so all I’ve known is freezing cold and rain but I love it, I’m very over weight ( think hunky gorgeous george clooney with a fat beer belly ( part of that was a lie) and essentially that’s me, but because of being overweight I get hot and sweat loads very quickly ( sorry if too much information 🤢) so I think it’s fantastic that there’s a constant cold shower of rain of freezing sea breeze ( I live by the coast) to cool me down, I often open my jacket or take it off to cool me down...I’m dreading the summer heat..😱...I’ll probably pass out or make my run via a beer garden (medicinal purposes👍🏻) literally love “cool” runnings
