Subject: RE: two cold weather running tipsI run outside all year long, during winter over here it can gets as low as -35F, -40F. So far this winter the coldest I have run in was -22 but with windchill it was -35 or so. I have the clothes to run outside and I must tell you I do find it easier than running in a 100F temp. The main problem is hydratation, at that temp no way anything stays unfrozen for more then 45-60 minutes so on longer runs I can't drink or have to come back home in the middle of it or do a pit stop at a gas station or something to get hot water. I see no difference between running outside or going for some cross country skiing or snow shoeing etc. I live in a country where winter is really cold and we have 4-5 months of it, better enjoy it. I just can't stand the treadmill. |
