Well got up a reasonable time for a run. Looked out and water was falling from the sky, so I wimped out. At 76 I am a fair weather runner so what to do?
So.....
1. 45 mins weight training.
2. Found the Boston Marathon on Youtube and run on the spot for the last 5k, around 30 mins.
3. Large cup of black coffee.
4. Job done and its still raining!

🍏☔️ 🏃♂️ ☕️ Now that’s what I call using your initiative, being innovative & having fun, all at the same time.!!! Excellent way to get the run done ✅ Hopefully those who are struggling to get out in the never ending rain & want to hide out in an ark rather than run, will be inspired!!! Well done 👍
Well done for adapting and finding something that worked. Great workout too. What does your strength session include? I’m always interested in what other people do. It’s clearly keeping you in tip too shape!
From my own experience I would suggest when running indoors to wear running shoes. Running barefoot on hard surfaces - when you are not used to it - can really exercise your muscles in your feet. If one wants to be able to run barefoot, the 10% rule applies, starting with 5 minutes. It’s just surprisingly unlike running with shoes outside. (Of course this only is true if you don’t usually run in barefoot shoes)
