I’ve seen similar threads re this but I’m just FUMING. It’s MAY and it’s still f*cking freezing cold.
I’ve just got up and gone to the coast, got out the car ran about half a K and turned around and come home in a strop.

Also- the heating has had to be on intermittently throughout April because I’ve got a 8month old.

I feel so friggen down with it, I fight SAD so hard during the winter months, wrap up get hiking even in the pouring rain.

We lived in aus for a few years and it’s just so much better weather wise, you can plan stuff, you can be outside even when you’re feeling sad and shit. Here’s just miserable 24/7 and it’s been winter for 7 months!

I am so with you OP. I love running but I am losing motivation so fast with this weather. Running in slippery mud and rain is vile. This time last year I was going great guns. I hope it changes soon for both of us!

you need better clothing op

no decent runs without a car?

i have never driven for a run. Best thing about running is how convenient it is… walk out front door and you’re off!

I can’t relate, I’ve been running all through winter and never once felt cold. I have been going out in a t shirt for at least the last 6 weeks but before that I’d put a jumper on and take it off within 5 minutes. Does running not make you hot?

But yes, it is dragging on a bit now but it’s nothing new. It never warms up before May then everyone complains it’s too hot (me included)

Same and this morning I’d just had enough! I was like WHY am I doing this to myself AGAIN?!
Probably just a lapse in my mindset but I’m just totally over it now!
