RUNNING IN THE RAIN



It hasn’t stopped raining since I got back from sunny Vancouver on Friday. All my good intentions of starting a new running routine have been washed away and I’ve hardly left the house. But then the cover of the November issue of Runner’s World caught my eye with an article on the 8 Best New Trail Shoes.

One thing I noticed running last winter was how wet my feet got in normal trainers and so trail shoes seem the way forward and are on my shopping list. RW suggest that I look for trail trainers with weather-proofing and the article tested the trainers for how they functioned on wet grass (my usual running surface). RW say the best all-rounder is the New Balance 876 and the best for wet conditions is the Salomon Speedcross 2 GTX. Armed with this new-found knowledge I’ll be off to my local Runner’s Need – as soon as it stops raining!
