Reluctant couch to 5 runners...

What do you wear when it's raining and you think you have the perfect excuse not to do your training?

Light waterproof jacket. It has a hood but I hate running in a hood so don't use it (I'm a C25K graduate of 5 years and still going, it's worth getting out in the rain!)

Unless it’s really hammering it down, I don’t wear anything extra except a cap to keep the rain out of my eyes. Once you’re running/sweating, the rain is usually quite nice.

Like above, nothing extra except a peaked cap. I’m a hot sweaty mess after 5 mins, the thought of a jacket on top of that makes me shudder.

I run with a hoody on

Nothing extra, but a cap.

Word of advice. With runnning jackets you either get a proper waterproof one, or you'll be stuck with a greenhouse effect of a fabric that's not breathable. That's just hideous.

Like previous posters mentioned, rain can actually be lovely once you get going.

Okay thank you for the advice. What cap then?

I use one of my son’s or I have a nice one from sweaty Betty.

I have a light rain jacket but I usually only wear it in winter as it's hi vis so useful for staying safe. Like others, I grab whatever baseball cap is by the door.

Contact lenses rather than glasses, make sure no cotton layers anywhere and enjoy being not too hot!

Er - I use the treadmill ?!

Well that's useful if you have one or like using one. Since the OP asked about rain, presumably she runs outside and unless you have a treadmill with a roof, rain would still get you damp.
