Hello all . Well the temp has dropped a lot which is better for me while running but I can't decide if I prefer wind or rain.
While running the other day I got soaked to the skin. By the time I got half way through my run I was to far to call off the run so I ran through it. My legs and cheeks were bright red but I made it home
Today I did the same run but on first half of my run it was a wind behind me then once I turned round oh my goodness me it was bloomin hard running into it and even worse on the bends of the curve of the prom when the wind is across wind.
Still made it home and enjoyed my run something I definitely wouldn't have said at the beginning of the year

I had a brief dabble with C25K many moons ago and found myself starting in February in the snow. It was actually quite fun! But I hate ice. I'm wondering how things are going to go when the winter comes and everywhere gets slippy. That might be gym treadmill time.
Sadly the two not being mutually exclusive means you will also have to face the joys of both at the same time. Then you know you are a dedicated runner!!
I’m a gale and sleet aficionado. Nothing better than a slab of ice crashing on the side of my head while negotiating through gale force winds, then going home to read people’s nostalgic posts about sun and heat. Happens every year!
Oh sorry I didn't mean to sound rude . There's no other choice. I will run through the winter months too but maybe I'll avoid days when they carry a weather warning
You are not rude, don’t worry about my posts! My fave was late December, temperature around zero and the wind along the Thames was simply vicious. I thought, that’s it, they’ll find me in the Spring. Fast forward 3-4 kilometres and there was l with my sleeves rolled all the way up, passing drivers looking incredulously. In reality it all sounds much worse than it really is. Just ignore the elements and run. UNLESS there’s black ice on the ground. Even l stop for black ice, no point in rotating my knee by 180 degrees, is there?
Haha, the last one was bad enough and l had to go out 4-5 times per week getting my chops ready for half marathon. And tbh, it wasn’t that bad, you simply run. But the posts about blue skies, bright sun and warm/hot weather came thick and fast.
I haven’t run in either really - 99% zero runs in the rain, and no real wind to speak of. However, I already I think I’ll prefer rain. Can’t imagine how you’d control your breathing running into a strong headwind!
I’d like to order some rain now please. Still close to 30 degrees here in the SW 😩😅🏃♀️
I’ve only run twice in very little rain, here in Cambridgeshire summer has been going on for months. I am a little nervous about what I shall do when it ends, too many excuses not to go out if the weather isn’t nice.
