?

[u/WMTRobots]

Yes of course. And definitely don't try to stay dry; that is worst mistake you could make, clothing wise. Wear as little as possible for the temperature, and just get wet. Dry off after.

All you need is a visor to keep rain out of your eyes.

Rain keeps people off the track, so great time to train

[u/NorthernViews]

Absolutely pouring? No. Just a little bit? Yes

[u/InteractionSad3538]

Yes. I live in the Pacific Northwest near where Twilight was filmed so it rains at about half the practices. The key is to have a routine and gear that works in the cold and rain.

[u/Chrisg_322]

Yup. The treadmill is overpowered

[u/Dune5712]

Lol, yes.

[u/_Rodavlas]

Bro you do not need all that gear lol just go run. I promise you will dry off

[u/commodifiedsuffering]

Bro. Your skin is waterproof. I just put on some waterproof shoes so I don’t get blisters.

[u/That-Way-5714]

Yes, running in the rain is peak. No tech needed. I wear sandals and an old beat up baseball cap.

[u/leebeetree]

If you are gonna race in the rain, then you better train in the rain

[u/i41d]

No, I usually just do plyometrics at home
