Subject: Cold = Not enough fuel? Hey!
A total newbie question, and I think I already know the answer but I wanted to see if anyone had the same experience as I am having when they first started training. I've noticed that I've been freezing cold and having a hard time warming up over the last few weeks since I've started to pick up the training routine. It's mostly fingers and toes and I usually am a person with warm hands.
Is it possible that I'm just not consuming enough calories to keep the furnace burning? Is my body stressed and not able to work the same way? Maybe it's a strange question but it's an unusual feeling for me to be so cold and it just seems to coincide with the increase in training. Anyone else notice this when they began training, that until you got the balance right things seemed a bit off?
(Granted.. I do live in Northern Canada and it was -18C (-1F ) today... but I'm talking inside the house, beside the fireplace, with a winter coat on.. still cold...and I've lived in cold climate my entire life! )
Any ideas? Thanks! |
