First time running in the wet, went along a main road which was very unpleasant with the noise and fumes! Completed the run although found the last 5 minutes hard as it was all up a gentle incline, really wanted to stop but just kept telling myself to keep going and I did, so pleased. Can't wait until the end of next week as I feel if I can do it and run for 20 minutes non stop I will actually feel like a Runner!
I invested in some proper running bottoms which said they would keep me warmer, and they did I am so pleased with them, my legs never felt cold once not even at the beginning, so much better than normal tracky/jogging bottoms.

Well done and in the rain I have just finished week 5 run1 but on the treadmill outside scares me lol I admire your determination especially when it's cold and horrible outside. I understand the 20 minute goal and how then you will feel like a real runner although we are already runners keep up the good work
Well done Julie. That 20 minute run scared the crap out of me. LOL But you are working towards it building each week.
I need to invest in a pair of proper running "tights, skins, legging, bottoms" whatever they are called, as I am using thermal tights at the moment, which actually keep me quite warm. I've been looking but some of them are so expensive.
Good luck with your next run.
well done! I finished week 4 run three on Saturday in the snow, and it was tough going. I find making sure that i dont get cold helps me to focus on running, rather then grumbling about the cold and looking for reasons to give up.
Well done Julie. Sounds like things are progressing well for you. Did you get your running bottoms on line? If so, any chance you could post a link? Cheers
I have also switched to running tights, got a couple of Karrimor pairs from Sports Direct, very cheap. Feels so much easier to run in them than loose bottoms. I feel more professional too!
