First run in the rain

[JulieMae]

Help! Need to get in my wk2 run1 this morning but it’s raining and really not looking forward to running in the rain 🥴🥴 Any tips?

It is wet.

You will get wet.

You only get wet once, then you are wet.

You will dry out when you get home.

Welcome to running, as it really is - full of wonderful variation. You may find you like rain running better than some others eg hot sun. 😄 Have fun! 👏🏼

The rain is refreshing and keeps you cool. Try it!

You are not out in the rain for long and it will cool you down. I would advise having a hot shower straight after the run and then doing your stretches. Put kitxhen roll in your shoes to dry them

As has been mentioned, you'll hopefully be getting a bit sweaty anyway out on your run! I'm in my second week & got drenched a few times last week, knew i was hitting the shower anyway before then heading into work so didn't think much of it, i oddly quite enjoyed it out in the rain though.

Just go running in the rain is great 😊

I have to admit I'm only a fair weather runner. I'm just back from W7R2 - postponed from yesterday as it was so wet.

I love running in the rain ... it’s so liberating. Give it a go 😁

[Getfitok Graduate]

I love running in the rain & there are fewer people about 😀

Thanks everyone. Of course you are all right- I did find the rain enjoyable and I felt like a proper runner who doesn’t let rain stop her 😂 won’t be concerned the next time!
