Running in the rain

[Mill1962]

What do people wear for running when it’s wet? I’ve seen people run in fluorescent jackets and others in just vests and shorts. I’m new to this and don’t want to stop just because it’s raining.

As little as possible.

Once you are wet you are wet. ............ it's quite nice really.

Yep, just t shirt and shorts. Sweaty and damp anyway! It’s quite refreshing really.

Well that will save some money - wet it is then!

It’s okay to wear as little as possible but we are heading into Winter. Wet AND cold, not a good combination for me. I’m looking for the fluorescent lightweight jacket.

oh, and tights not shorts. gloves and possibly a beanie hat eventually. 🙂

Experiment to see what’s best for you.

Rain can be very refreshing for some, but others really don't like getting wet. So it depends which camp you fall into. In the Summer its fine to get wet etc, but in the Winter you may want to have the addition of a warmer windproof jacket. I find that layers is best as the air is trapped and will warm up. I don't wear waterproof coats as the sweat from your body will make you wet underneath. Better to have layers and warmth.
