Long Definition

Rain running involves running outdoors in rainy conditions. It can enhance mental toughness and adaptability, as runners learn to cope with less-than-ideal weather. The rain can help keep the body cool, potentially improving performance. However, it requires attention to safety, such as wearing appropriate gear to prevent hypothermia and ensuring good traction to avoid slipping. Real-world examples include races like the Boston Marathon, where runners often face unpredictable weather. Rain running matters because it prepares runners for diverse conditions, ensuring they can perform well regardless of the weather on race day.
