Rain run or not....

[Chocs_away]

Week 8 tomorrow -I'm in Central London this week, looks like it will p it down in the morning.

So if I run in my usual kit, leggings, long sleeve running top... Will I be miserable? And more importantly, will my shoes be dry enough on Friday for my next run and to pack in my bag for home...

Alternatives - run after work, but it's likely to be a late one and I'm likely to be tired. And it will be busier with folk wandering about. Try the hotel gym, but I only have outdoor trainers with me.

What would you do??

You're going to say I'm overthinking it aren't you.

Run in the rain and stuff your trainers with newspaper when you’re done. I bet you won’t even notice it when you’re out in it ☔️

I'm going to say just go out and do it . I always say once you're wet you're wet right. Theres something great about running in the rain , I can't explain why. One thing that is good and keeps the rain out your eyes is a baseball cap .

Don't worry about your trainers once your finished stuff them with newspaper or kitchen roll and place them underneath a radiator , they dry out nicely. Good luck 😊

No you won't be miserable, you'll love it.

Get out there and do it. You know you want to

Rain running is quite exhilarating, try it and see how you get on 😁

Yaay, thanks - I did it :-@

Worst part was walking cool down with squelchy toes after a misjudged puddle...

Otherwise all good & can feel smug at work today

Yay... good for you. No excuses now. You'll be out in all weathers 😉

Run anyway, I only hesitate in strong wind and rain. I would like to suggest a golfing visor if you don't like rain in your face or if you wear glasses. I also use a waterproof cycling jacket. It takes a while to decide what works for you in all conditions.
