Run or not to run?

[AJG19700818]

Week 6 run 2 due tomorrow and feeling really positive, even though I found this week's run 1 difficult for some reason! I've done all of my runs outdoors but the weather forecast for tomorrow is horrendous! Gales and torrential rain. Should I try doing the run on the treadmill, try to run outdoors despite the weather or wait a couple of days until this storm has passed?? Any advice would be welcome.

Wait until it passes..pop in some extra strength and stamina exercise and enjoy the run when you get out there.

I asked a similar question on here about rain running and I am officially converted it's really refreshing all I would say is wear a cap it stops the rain drops on your eyebrows and nose 😂

[AJG19700818 in reply to jessieb887]

😂 I'll see how windy it is then and give it a go if it's not too bad. Best dig out a cap!

Just got in from the run (with my cap on!) Almost disappointed that it didn't rain until now whilst I'm eating my breakfast! 😂 Can't believe I've managed to dodge the rain for 6 weeks. Have a good weekend. Got my 25 minute run next. 😱

I was happy to read that you still braved the elements and ran outside. The fresh air and the wind gives you a much greater high than running indoors! I have W6R3 to do tomorrow morning, 25 mins 😜 but I'm hoping to smash it and come indoors to a top breakfast afterwards just like you! Top Job AJG well done you! 👏🏼 Happy Friday!

Glad you did it, I was out in the rain last night I love it 😊

I did the last 2 runs of w8 on a treadmill, as I was away and didn’t fancy getting lost! It was much easier and I was worried how I’d manage w9, but I did it! Go with what works for you

Good to know. Thanks for the advice.
