W9R2. Rain, rain, go away...

[Emlist29]

Morning all.

This morning i was up early with the intention of smashing w9r2 but it hasn’t stopped raining and I just can’t seem to leave the house!

How do people feel about running in the rain?

Fingers crossed it’ll stop soon.

Just go you soon get used to it the only weather I don't or can't run in is icy , slippy pavements 😊

You can only get wet once! Running in the rain is good in a way that walking in the rain is not. I'd put a cap on and head out.

There’s a little “rain window” between 12 & 2pm. You can do it!

Check out the meteoradar app. It has a 3 hr forecaster so you can see when there is a poss break in the weather. I use it lot to time horse riding as hate having to clean my tack if it's been rained on!

One minor thing that was pointed out to me by a fellow forumite ... skin is waterproof 😂

But I'm with you, I'd rather not run in the rain if I can avoid it 😊👍

On the plus side, rain keeps the pollen down Not helping? Just trying to find a silver lining for your rain cloud

Once you are in it, it's not so bad, just be mindful that puddles can conceal potholes.

You will get home soaked but feeling pleased with your efforts 😊💧💧☔

Don't worry it will stop soon. I've lit the fire and it's already brightening up! I don't mind if it's a hair wash day, but generally I'm a fair weather runner 🌥

Thanks everyone. I waited it out and managed to avoid the rain but still got wet, having fun, splashing in the puddles.

Week9 run 2 was a killer. My legs felt like lead! I managed to keep going to wonder if I should repeat the run?

my w9r2 was horrible too, but as w9r1 was good and w9r3 was just 2 days away and exactly the same, I opted to continue knowing too that I had decided to do w9 three more times for consolidation.
