I'm not gonna lie, I hate running in the rain. It's just so miserable. But I've learned to deal with it by wearing a breathable waterproof jacket and bringing a spare set of clothes for after. For hot runs, I try to avoid them altogether, but if I have to, I make sure to bring water and take breaks in the shade. As for gear, I've invested in a good pair of sunglasses with UV protection, they're a lifesaver on bright days.
I've learned to love running in the rain, it's actually my favorite. No need for sunscreen, and it's always cooler. For hot runs, I make sure to start early, wear light colors, and bring a hydration pack. In the cold, I layer up and wear a hat and gloves. As for gear, I swear by my waterproof jacket and trail shoes with good grip. They've saved me from slipping on wet pavement more times than I can count.
Good points about the rain and heat. I'm not a fan of running in the cold, but layering up is key. I've also found that a good pair of gloves can make a huge difference. As for gear, I've invested in a breathable waterproof jacket and it's been a game-changer. No more soaked clothes and chafing.
