Most Favorite Running Conditions?

I think 40-45 degrees is my favorite. Of course, a clear day is nice. But, 40-45 and a light drizzle is just fine. Fall was made for runners, I think.

I like 45-50 degrees, overcast and, of course no wind.

Perfect racing conditions!

One of my favorites, however, is 30 degrees on a quiet, windless morning after 3" of fresh snow.

Yes, and yes.

The conditions at Philly on Sunday were great for me - mid 30s at the start, low 40's by the finish, slightly overcast. A little more sun would've been fine, but I was super happy with that weather for a long race. Fall running is definitely my favorite.

40 degrees, overcast. Rain is fine, too.

I don't mind running in the rain (please don't be windy). It's the getting started part that gets me. Once I'm wet... meh... I'd be wet anyway.

Yeah, I am always fine with it if it starts raining after I'm out there...but I do have a hard time starting out when it's already raining.

There have definitely been 2+ hour runs where it's been a constant, cold, rain... and, yeah, that's not my favorite. I don't mind it on shorter runs. But it can definitely add to the misery on a long, hard, run.

I like 45-50 degrees, overcast partly sunny and, of course no wind.

[Suesquatch]

In the 50s and sunny. No wind.

[siamesedream]

No wind, cloud cover, 60 degrees.

[ihop]

I like it clear or partly sunny in the upper 40s or 50s.

[iwuzwilson]

For racing 5K and up anything between 25 and 75 is fine, 50-65 is ideal.

[rocketgirl]

Low 60s and sunny.  I don't care if I wind up warm.  I hate starting out cold.

[Ice Cream]

No wind, cloud cover, 60 degrees.

yes, or no wind, shade on my side of the road, and 60 degrees.

[merigayle]

70 or warmer!

[nneJ]

70 or warmer!

1 + sunshine

[Run Amok]

Not crazy. I, myself, am looking forward to a waterfront run later on this greyest of days. It'll be LOVELY.

PMW, although I like a little breeze. I was lucky to have PMW for my 1st, 2nd and fastest marathons.

[Arrojo]

25 degrees, no wind, sunny.
