Joy Run #14: Rainy Runs ☔

It’s wet, it’s windy. What better way to be transported back to your childhood by playing out in the rain.

This week’s Joy Runs theme is… Rain

This Week: Running in the Rain ☔

Running in the rain is underrated. Drizzle or downpour, there's something quite calming and cathartic about being soaked through.

Wet weather also provides a welcome change of running routine and brings extra challenges for those preparing for a race. No two rainy runs are alike. Will it be a muddy adventure or a jumping over puddles kind of run? Nobody knows. Either way, resilience is born in the rain.

So for this Joy Run, we’ll go for a run in the rain and soak up the extra visual and mental stimulation it offers.

Examples include:

• jumping in/over puddles

• seeing your own reflection

• the threat of dark clouds

• a magical rainbow after a big storm

• a rain-soaked selfie

• sharing your tips for running in the rain

• the badass feeling of braving the elements

As always, don’t forget to tag Joy Runs on Instagram or TikTok with your efforts.
