I managed to fit this run in between the showers this morning and really enjoyed it, it was far less of a challenge than I expected. For the first time I am feeling confident about completing W5R3 on Monday or Tuesday depending on the weather.

Well done you! 😁

hey Don't let the weather stop you running - otherwise it may become an excuse later down the line! just go out come rain or shine & enjoy your run, honestly you soon forget that it’s raining anyway - I’ve found that I prefer running in the rain it kinda gives me more focus in an odd way! 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Interesting, I had not considered running in the rain, I have been doing it on a treadmill on rainy days. Do you wear anything different when running in the rain or do you just get wet? What about shoes, do they have time to dry out before your next run? If I can run in the rain I can save on a gym membership, happy days.

HiYa!

I just get wet 😂 it’s a great feeling... I wear the same all the time running tights, A long sleeve run top with a built in sleeve pocket for my phone and at the moment my Reebok trainers 👟 which I’ll hopefully be changing on payday! I put them on top of the bedroom radiator with the window open on a night to dry & because I leave a day between my runs they are always dry!

I refuse to run indoors it so boring & you don’t get to travel so to speak! I too have a membership which I’m just wasting at the moment because I’m not using it at all because I prefer to run outdoors 🤷🏽‍♀️😁

Well done! Same! I found w5r1 really difficult but run 2 was much better! Slightly nervous about run 3 though
