Do you go running in the rain?

Well ended up running under very heavy rain today. Saying that I'd probably come out for one anyway, I just chuck some waterproofs on and good to go not like it's freezing outside.

You mean to say you don't do it naked? :eek:

Not after that talk with the Police.

Not run but I do like to walk in the rain, I'll be doing this shortly.

The rain? You don't know commitment until you've been out running when there's a couple of inches of snow on the ground, it's about -3C and it's chucking it down. Coming from Scotland the concept of not doing things because it's raining is somewhat alien, you'd never get much done at all.

I'm not running much at the moment because of a back issue but when I do go running outside then it doesn't particularly matter whether it's raining/snowing/windy or not - a little bit of rain doesn't hurt.

You run around in your car?

Must be an interesting work out to watch that one.

I hate swimming in the rain as I get far to wet.

I always burn up when I'm out running, so anything that helps me stay cool I see as a bonus, whether that be rain or snow. I quite like running when it is slinging it down as it feels like it's me vs nature!

And then there's the satisfaction when you get to the point of turning round and the wind/rain are now helping you along...

Until your shoes/socks get wet. That's just naaaasteh.

Get a couple of tesco bags on your feet.

SORTED!

Yeah, love running in the rain. Might go in a couple of hours to work of the slab of cheesecake I just scoffed.

Yes, I run in the rain, and the snow and whatever weather is going on. Actually, the worst weather to run in is when it's sunny and hot; you'd have to take water and you still dehydrate too quickly.

cram · 18 Jul 2011 at 21:05

+ for running in the rain. Only conditions I don't really run in are fog, if it is very windy or very icy.

Love running in the rain, especially when its quite warm out (like today - ran 10k).

Run whatever the weather really. Red hot is bad, Windy is worse

Only problem I have with the rain is that I find it can cause chafing!

I love running in the rain. Hoping it'll be raining tomorrow for my run

Von Smallhausen · 18 Jul 2011 at 22:33

I run when it's raining although I prefer it when it's dry.

Robert1986 · 18 Jul 2011 at 22:40

seriously, sissy football players run in the rain in shorts and a t shirt. Whats stoppping you from putting on a ran jacket and hat?

As long as you can keep your skin dry, its really no problem. Atleast no one else will be out in the rain.

Just put your mp3 player in a sandwhich bag and you are good to go. Done it plenty of times.

I love running in the rain, its a beautiful feeling.
