JillB I use a cheap light weight hiviz rain coat I bought to cycle in, it works one pocket at the back, but it keeps the weather out if it's bad, I wouldn't splash out loads coz come summer you'll be hanging it up !!

Great running and perseverance getting to week3

Decathlon have some good reasonably priced options

I put my waterproof on today, but they have their pros and cons - water drips off them onto your legs, and they can be quite hot once you get going. I ended up unzipping mine and got wet anyway!

I can’t recommend any jacket ☔️, but want to say well done for going out and running today 👍

I had a ronhill running jacket for Christmas. It's lovely, but not the cheapest, I probably wouldn't have bought it myself
