Is it better to walk or run in the rain?
I got soaked yesterday in a downpour, but it was amazing. I hadn’t noticed the cloud approaching and I 
turned around and seemed to walk into a wall of raindrops. It was one of those moments in which very quickly you realise there is nothing you can do but get absolutely soaked. It was pretty wild weather and really made my daughter and I laugh.
So do you get wetter if you make a dash for it or walk?
Is it better to walk or run in the rain? Well, many factors need to be considered, like the size of the person, the raindrop size, etc, but according to “Professor Bocci who conducted the research in the Journal of European Physics did though offer the overall conclusion that “in general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can – not always, but in general.” (Met Office)
This made me laugh too. I think his “not always” quote, could have been through himself experiencing the wonders and joys that can be taken from getting caught in the rain!
What would you say?
I’d say, do whatever feels best, but I’m sure it would have been different if I’d been on the way to an important event. However, sometimes getting soaked by the rain is quite exhilarating, especially if you can share it with someone!
