How do you streak runners manage on really bad weather days? (lemmy.world)

I’m trying to get into streak running, but when I get hit with a day that has terrible weather (ice rain, smoke from Canada being on fire, etc) I am unsure what to do. And I don’t own a treadmill or have a gym membership. Do you just have very specific gear for those days or what? Any motivation tips and gear tips?

The worst weather days often make for the best days running for me. When I first started running maybe it was a fight against myself like you may be experiencing but after a few great runs in utterly miserable weather it changes your outlook on it. You also have the additional boon of knowing you just fought harder for that run after you are done.

Added bonus is that you usually won't see anyone else out as well, however I'm quite anti social so I don't know if that will appeal to everyone!
