Obviously it’s quite personal, but I exceed the breathability of even the best breathable waterproof jacket in barely any time so end up wetter on the inside than outside within about 20 minutes id all but the easiest of runs, and that’s in winter.
For a wet winter run usually wear a long sleeve running shirt and shorts on the basis the less fabric there is to absorb rain the less soggy I’ll feel, yesterday was just my usual vest and shorts and other than the shuffle home as I finished my run 800m from home I barely even noticed the rain.

...(road) running in the rain, how does it work?
I mean obviously people wear a water resistant / waterproof jacket, and I gathered that some just wear shorts and some wear pants (that do lead a lot of water right down to your socks) - but do road / city runners just wear their normal running shoes and deal with it when they're getting soaked?
There's a couple of water resistant / Gore-Tex shoes I see, but almost all of them are "trail" ones, or some kind of flatter / harder / more "supported" road models - are there really no well cushioned / soft / high stack neutral running shoes that are also suitable for running in the rain?
