I say cold rain. Penetrates your clothing, weighs you down. Hands go numb. It sucks.

yep, cold rain, thats it. stupid thread topic #336 is now over.
I hate running in tornados! It sucks. Last time it happened I got sucked into the tornado, it was very hard to breathe and then I got shot out 27 miles away from my starting point! Man that was a long run!
Ok, now the stupid thread topic is closed. And yes, it is a very stupid topic, somebody is bored.
Warning wimp factor high in previous posts.
You can still have a very decent workout in cold rainy weather. You could increase intensity and decrease distance then you will not have a problem getting a great workout.
Worst weather is plus 95 degrees in high humidity. You can't get the proper workout.
I agree. It's not fun to run when it is cold and windy, but you can still get a good workout. Hot and humid weather with bad air pollution, on the other hand, makes it impossible to do anything useful. I once spent a good part of a summer in Houston and I don't think I was able to do any serious workouts at all.
I hate running when it gets all icy out. . causes injuries sometimes. . and it is that way for 3 weeks at a time!
Try -40 degree windchill and snow and ice on the ground while snow is coming down and blowing in your face. Getting in a proper workout? Quite hard. Tell me to run inside? Run inside for yours then, pussy. I would much rather run in 95 and humid.
I agree the heat is the worst. Running in the cold you can still hit time but the heat hurts you the most.
I have trouble hitting time in the dead of winter in Minnesota, I guess that could just be me, but I also find myself running for only 3 or 4 miles in that kind of weather.
I am not including extreme conditions like hurricanes, ice storms or whatever, but strong wind the worst to race in
Running into a strong headwind, slows you down, but your workout is just as good and sometimes in cold weather you can work harder and longer.
Yes, you guys who want to run in humid 95 plus degrees days are, well you know the W word, because you're not going to get the workout that the guy running in 10 degree weather fighting off headwinds is getting.
I don't know how many runs, in what seems to be very cold weather, end up with me peeling off layers, hats etc. At the end of one of those 95 degree days I'm just getting weaker and slowing down.
Really if you're a true runner you want the cold weather because you can still have a great workout. Its the obvious choice.
Really really cold rain...like at 35 degrees is it. Yet in those conditionsd i was so anxious for a 5-miler to be over that I set a PR.

Personally, I enjoy running in tornados. Last time I got sucked up and landed in a really colorful place full of little people with lollipops. I ran along a yellow brick road where I met some fellow runners. The first guy wasn't too bright, the second guy was constantly dehydrated, and the last guy was paranoid about everything. Finally, we reached an "Emerald City" and realized that we were at the University of Oregon. There we met with the great and powerful Bill Bowerman where we received training advice, water, mace, and new running shoes. It was strange because I thought he would have given me Nikes, but instead I got a fresh pair of my beloved Mizuno Wave Rider 9's. I was really glad that they were red because usually women's running shoes are blue. I asked for a GPS so we could find our way home, but Bill told me instead to tap my heels together and repeat "there's no place like home." I thought this was odd, but then again I was in a very odd place so I did what he told me. Then I woke up at my computer desk where I saw this thread on LetsRun.com.
I'll say ridiculous heat is the worst, as it is very draining and pretty much impossible to escape. I have no problem going out into windy, snowy sub zero temps...that's where nice things like under armour cold gear or a good jacket can help. There's nothing that can take the heat away.
Sober up honey.
62 and sunny on a crisp fall day in upstate New York when the leaves are changing. Yah, that's it.

Are you telling me you can still hit your target times in an interval session when it is 15 degrees outside?
No way. You must have never tried to run fast when it's really cold
Hmmm, Billy spent a lot of time in Oregon - not too hot, not too cold, no real snow or snow storms ... it is easy to talk tough when you are living in a runners paradise. Roy Griak on the other hand ... let's hear a quote from him!

Easy, hot & humid.
You can protect yourself from everything else with clothing. You need a better running suit and some gloves dude!
