If you’re anywhere near me, Derbyshire, it’s forecasted to stop by 5am but comeback mid afternoon

Dover says rain all day... Canterbury says rain til about 10am... back at 4.

[Shelley2310 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Great, I’m going to get wet on my first run back!! 🤣🤣🤣

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

It’ll keep you cool. The wind bothers me much more than the wet stuff.

Hopefully the rain won't last too long Shelley, I have no suggestions about running in torrential rain ☔as I don't. Tomorrow I intend if it is not ☔ raining to run 🏃week 5 run 3 because 20 minutes is long enough for me as I have already this week walked 12 Kilometres on Tuesday and ran 🏃5K on Thursday. 😊

I'm with you x if you get rained on mid run so be it but never, never set out in the rain 😁

Back in the heat of July, I saw rain and grabbed my shoes pretty quickly 😂

When I graduated from C25K in 2014 or something - I asked the same question. I was told "Skin is Waterproof". I have since gotten myself so called water proof running jackets and hats - from Aldi and Decathlon, so they didn't cost the earth, and I have quite started enjoying running in the rain, Not brave enough to go out when it is pouring down, but quite ok to continue if it starts raining when I am out.

Was wondering that too... I'm about to start week 9 and it's looking so bleak outside. Only run in light rain so far

[Pubcarking Graduate]

Went out in the rain earlier and it was glorious bit chilly at first but refreshing and helped clear out the cobwebs.

[GoogleMe Graduate]

Warm house, shower and towel for after.

[emct64 Graduate]

Get a snorkel. Same here last night but forecast predicted a 3 hour gap so had to get up and out. Glad I did

[rancher Graduate]

Give it a go, you might just like it!

I find it really energising, plus you get to feel really smug afterwards 😂

Just make sure you dry off quickly.

[Polly2810 Graduate]

You can only get so wet!! We went out in pouring rain a few sundays ago and yes it was cold and yes water was dripping off my nose...but we actually had a great run...and the shower after was heavenly!! 🤣

[Shelley2310 Graduate]

Well I wimped our this morning. The suns now out and I’ve got to get shopping added to the fact that there will be people about!! Hopefully later I’ll get out, if not early tomorrow. 😊

[rancher Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

Tomorrow’s another day😇

Having commented on your post earlier I then felt obliged to walk (or should that be run?!) the talk and headed out for my longest run so far, so thanks for the motivation!

[Shelley2310 Graduate in reply to rancher]

Well done, I’m setting the alarm for 5.30....whatever the weather I’m going out. Hopefully no one will be out at that time haha

[rancher Graduate in reply to Shelley2310]

Good for you, let us know how it goes
