Forcast calls for 30 degrees and rain hard workout on the treadmill or outside

Personally I think you should schedule the workout for the day after and just do easy mileage on the treadmill. Running in 30 degrees by itself isn't a problem, but when coupled with rain the experience will be miserable. Plus there's the chance of ice forming on the roads at that temperature. On the flip side, running fast workouts on the treadmill is somewhat risky IMO, since the legs will have to accelerate and slow down much more quickly than outdoors.

Come on, dude. If you love running outside then go for it. Last Sunday in 32 degree pouring rain I did 10x1:30 with puddles everywhere and 20 mph wind on way out.

Usually when it's 30 degrees, that stuff falling from the sky is called snow.

I mean really at that temperature you may want the air con on. I would say it's safer to do it inside. I know, I know, the rain may cool you down but it depends on the dew point.

Yeah no problem at all to run in 30 degree weather. You're right. It's not like everything you do if taking it seriously will be seconds off of where you should be if you had done it in like 90 degrees and humidity.

It's like totally fine to just do everything in 30 degrees.

Wow and also a chance of ice forming on the roads at 30 degrees? Thanks Mr. Obvious.

Depends how long the freezing rain has been falling before your workout. If it is just starting and things don't have an icy glaze, go for it. But if the track is slip and slide - forget about it.

Run inside.

Don’t be that weird guy running in the rain around town that people think has asbergers.

You can survive without doing the 10x600. However run outside. Don't be a kitty kat.

Wow, how sad that you can't even spell forecast.

if you don't do it on a treadmill given those conditions, what's the point of having a treadmill?

If you want an excuse just take the excuse.
