Should you run in the rain? Is it worth it?

Hello there, Run Podron Club. I am Jenny Faulkner. Welcome to the Extra Mile. Now, let's do something that us Brits love to do. Let's chat weather. Yes,

there has been a lot of rain recently. There has been a lot of mixed weather. Well, it is winter.

And it is enough to make anyone question their motivation. Now, listen, running in the rain

doesn't automatically make it a bad run. In fact, I love running in the rain doesn't automatically make it a bad run.

In fact, I love running in the rain.

Sometimes, sometimes not so much fun.

But with the right mindset, it really can feel refreshing.

rest or move your run indoors. But if it's a bit of rain and you're just like, oh, I don't want to go

and get wet, well, what are you thinking? Once you're wet, you're wet. There's

nothing you can do. You'll feel amazing afterwards. Chances are not as many people will be out there

pounding the pavement so you might have the whole road or pavement to yourself. You can come back and

say you've done a run. What has everyone else done while they've been sitting inside? And by the way,

that post run shower will be amazing skin's waterproof what difference doesn't make if it's raining when you're outside

rain does not have to stop you in your tracks but do listen to your instinct that matters smart

decisions are part of being a strong, confident runner,

and that is exactly happy with himself.
