Full set of commutes last week, parkrun on Saturday and junior parkrun on Sunday, both with the boy, and a 1k swim Sunday for my first proper swim in about 3 months, how bad did that feel!

How do you manage to commute every day? The weather was horrific here yesterday, storm Brendan.
Iām tempted to try it, but thereās always something puts me off. Not sure I would enjoy it given the levels of traffic in Glasgow.
Quite a hard day today; tempo run, weight lifting and swim - hydro class.

I must admit to getting a bit tired of the āadminā involved with getting home soaking wet when commuting; fortunately all the heavy rain has been in the evening rather than the morning though. Drying kit at work is near-on impossible.
I mainly manage it through having no choice, wife has the car most days so iām left with cycling or scrounging a lift and I donāt really like doing that! It does get a bit tedious at this time of year with what seems like wind or rain or both almost every day but luckily I have a decent shower at work with a big towel rail to dry all my gear off
I think this year has been the worst I can remember. Normally thereās a mixture of clear/cold days, grey/overcast days and wet days so the wet days donāt seem so bad if theyāre few and far between. This winter seems to have been wet (and windy) almost every day.
Iāve got a mate in the construction industry who keeps a log of the weather to account for delays etc. A few weeks back he told me there hadnāt been two consecutive days without rain since September and they were invoking special clauses due to that and the delays this had caused. Ironically for flood alleviation work!

Oct/Nov was horrendous for rain.
One of the back lanes I use has pretty much become a farm track with all the debris washed onto the road and the flooding. I have been avoiding it most of the time in the dark.
Easy 7kms at 5.30

Anyone else done stage 1 of Tour De Zwift yet?
My windsurfing friends are raving about the āEpic Autumn 2019ā apparently the most days with average winds over 30kph (Weymouth Sailing Centre) since they started keeping records
Strangely, I didnāt notice that when marathon training. I only recall one or two runs where I had to head out in the rain. Maybe the London smog managed to keep the rain away

The weather is quite regionalised; plus you are located in the SE and usually most of the rain falls on the western side of the country; unless itās a more unusual eastern/north eastern front.
Weāve got showers ok at work, but nowhere at all to dry anything. That would mean soggy kit on the way home.
Living in Glasgow means pretty much guaranteed wind and rain.
Do you find it stressful cycling during peak times? I would be using the main routes in to town. To be fair, a lot of it is designated cycle lanes( white lines) and a part of it is actually segregated.
When I lived there I remember getting a bus from Anniesland to the centre (SPT was down); it was quicker to run to work! This was during my Triathlon hiatus.
A couple of hours in the server room and most things are bone dry for us
