I love running in the rain, as long as it's not too cold/windy. I have several pairs of water resistant/proof shoes, and use a windbreaker to not get too wet.

That "rain" at the beginning was super suspicious. Nice to see Mark hard at work making that rain at the end : ) I'll get out there next time it's raining and leave my excuses at home. You have motivated me! Thanks for doing these types of vids.

Merino wool will be your friend in the rain. Keeps you warm even when the merino wool is soaking wet. I like merino socks for cold/wet/snowy runs. I’ve also found merino leggings to be good for cold/wet/snowy run but not ideal for workout runs.

After some 200 ran in the rain this past month, I get ya. Mostly I layer up, then the rain and sweat warms up similar to the way a wetsuit works. Other than that, Vaseline is great for the feet or nappy cream if really wet. Currently doing a 100km, 48-hr Goggins-style multirun and looks like every run leg will be a soggy one 😂

If you are wearing prescription glasses, consider using lenses if possible. I learned this the hard way during a race. Never again.

@katerynalelych In the US, prescription glasses use "prescription lenses". I think you're using the word lense differently. Please explain.

I am soft. My go to is the treadmill with a video of warm places. LOL. You are right. On race day we never know what the weather is going to be so best to be prepared for it and dress accordingly. Also good to have training in all weather. I still like my treadmill in bad weather.

I like to run in the rain and also often do my best running in rain and grey weather. But now we got one meter of snow, so it’s more to dress for snowy roads and cold. // Marie-Louise

It's a universal truth though. There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. If it's that bad you shouldn't be out there in the first place. Investing in the proper clothing matters so much. Not only is it for practical reasons but for comfort as well.

Boot dryers. Little fan, dry you trainers completely and they often have a UV light to keep your shoes smelling fresh by killing bacteria. Awesome for running in rainy England

I've found that activity level is the primary determinant in terms of what to wear in foul weather; for me, that is probably a lot less than what is advertised here. Of course, each runner should experiment for themselves, but having run two of my several half-marathons in extreme conditions (hurricane w/55-degrees and the other 30 M.P.H. winds w/28-degrees), I only wound up wearing a jumper for the latter over my usual shorts/long sleeve t-shirt. As for the former (the hurricane race - my first, b.t.w.), I (and almost everyone else that day) quickly resigned themselves to the fact that they were going to get and stay wet for the duration. After about the first 1/2 mile, no one cared that their feet were sloshing inside of their shoes, and that they were literally being blinded by the rain, and their clothes were completely sodden; it was something we were all going through, and since we were running, anyone that had started with (makeshift) ponchos had doffed them by more or less the halfway point, the wet having gotten past that barrier, and the fact they they were bellowing up because of the high winds. So it was never a point about staying dry, but rather by the finish line, when everyone was commiserating around their medals, pizza, and drinks, the situation became one of how soon each person could now get dry and warm, as the activity level had quickly dropped away when the race was over, and resultant chilling was setting in. Having that extra layer at the end of a run/race is more important (for me) than while doing the running. Those races that require their participants to walk to a remote site of any appreciable distance where their drop bags are located, or to bussing back to a starting area are the most challenging without having extra clothes waiting for you in poor/rainy weather conditions.

I've been in the Seattle area my whole life which gets cold rain. I just wear a sweat shirt with shorts, then by the time it's soaked I'm warm enough to toss it aside in a spot that I will run by again on my way home.

It is ironic. But we re-scheduled it three times. And then the weather predicted 10 days of no rain, so we made a plan... (And not long after we ran every day for a week. In the rain almost every day!)
