Definitely depends on the person.
I run fairly warm so tend not to layer up much throughout the year.If it's warm and raining then I'll just wear what I'd wear if it was dry and accept that the trainers will likely be soaked. I have a tumble dryer with a drying shelf attachment for shoes so that makes it easier.
If it's cold and dry then fine, maybe stick on an extra base layer.
If it's cold and wet I'll likely not run.

...(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?
