Anyone likes jogging in the rain?

2014-08-08T22:30:54-04:00

I just went for one heck of a jog in the rain. Soaking wet. But I loved it! What's your preference?

Hurts when the rain is too hard and you're running into it :)

I'm more of a long walks on the beach and a movie night on the couch type of guy. But I'm always down for something CRAZY like moving at slow velocity through precipitation.....without a PT belt.

I like doing LOTS of things in the rain to include running! But only if it's warm summer rain.

The only jogging I do in the rain is to get out of the rain. I spend enough time running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, Don't need to do any extra jogging. As for exercise... I get enough of it pushing my luck, don't need to do anymore of it either.

I would if I could. My last tour of Afghanistan left me with little to no cartilage behind the knee cap to the femur. VA says I need a knee replacement, but I can't get one till I am 50 something. 2 knee replacements per lifetime per knee, there regulations on that.

If it ain't raining, it ain't training!! Hot or cold, makes no difference; let's run!!

Running in the rain makes me feel like I could run forever, plus you don't overheat which is great. You just need light shoes to begin with so the water drains and you are not running with weights on your shoes

I love running in the run. I'll actually rearrange my training schedule if it's raining on a non-run day.

For some reason if given the right enthusiasm soldiers are a lot more motivated in the rain during pt.

I haven't been in the military long enough to hate the rain, so let it pour! Besides it shows discipline to voluntarily go do something in the worst weather conditions. Not like the Army closes when it's raining, snowing, drought conditions (all basic Wisconsin weather conditions in a single month). When it rains and I'm running, it's like God is helping me stay cool and hydrated. When it's windy He's forcing air into my lungs and pushing my back to keep me going further. Just a way to keep my butt moving with a purpose and not walk.

I fell in love with rain and water just because of the Corps and it's love of water but due to prolong exposure to dry places like Iraq and Southern Afghanistan. Anytime it would rain during the deployments, I would just stay outside and feel the rain.

As long as there is no lightning, I'm good for jogging in the rain any day.

I'm down for a good run, rain or shine. Just make sure there isn't a lot of lightning. I would have to become one of the fair-weather pilots.

Best stress relief possible. Jog in a soft rain. I could do it daily if it rained in Texas more often.

Doing PT in the rain was some of the best PT. We would run, stop get in the mud, do some muscle failure , run again. By the time we were finished we would be wet, muddy and laughing our buts off . You get that hard workout feeling, not to mention that shower after was like heaven!

I'm kind of forced to enjoy running in the rain being stationed at ft lewis it rains 80% of the time in the fall winter and spring. All you have to do is embrace the suck.

I hate the rain. I don't mind a nice drizzle like at Lewis though, but i freaking hate running in Texas period. Did 5 miles this morning and by 0900 it felt like 100 degrees...grief. Does it rain in Texas?

I wa stationed in Fort Lewis for 4 years, if anyone has been stationed there, they know it rains there almost every day. Plus it's a COLD rain at that!

Yes, if it is during the summer. I hate the cold! But with that said, something about the rain takes my mind off of jogging/ running and makes the actual exercise seem easier and go by faster. My mind is just occupied I guess.

As long as it's not coming down too hard, running and biking are both enjoyable in the rain. Not sure I'd want to try it in a downpour, though.

Absolutely not. I've surpassed the "everyone, look how hooah I am" stage.

Rain is something to be enjoyed from the porch...with a glass of iced tea.

90 Degrees in the Summer, 80 degrees in the Winter, 2 2 week Monsoons separating them in Diego Garcia. I'd do it but I prefer not to. 5 years in Bremerton. If it was raining we would run in the Main Gym or the Gym on the Pier or do some other Leg Exercise Machine.
