COLD WEATHER RUNNING SECRETS REVEALED 🔓

.

We’ve got you covered!👇

.

WHAT TO WEAR (in general, use your best judgment with windchill and other factors. You may need to wear more or less depending on windchill!):

.

✅ 50 DEGREES (10 C): Shorts & t-shirt

✅ 40 DEGREES (4 C): Long sleeved top, shorts/pants, gloves

✅ 30 DEGREES (-1 C): Gloves, tights, long sleeves (two layers-- one tighter close to skin, one looser on top), headband/hat

✅ 20 DEGREES (-6 C): Gloves, chopper mittens possible, tights, long-sleeved tighter base layer, windbreaker jacket, headband/hat

✅ 10 DEGREES & UNDER (-12 C and under): Gloves, chopper thermal mittens if really cold/windy, tights & windbreaker pants, long-sleeved tight base layer, headband, neck buff, face mask, windbreaker jacket

✅ SNOW/ICE: Winter waterproof running shoes for snow & ice, YakTrax to put on your shoes for snow or putting own lugs on shoes

.

HOW TO TRAIN:

✅ Run on the treadmill when needed: Use your best judgment and stay safe inside when you need to

.

✅ Run by effort: Your paces will be slower in the cold and snow/ice. Run by effort instead of pace!

.

✅ Find plowed paths for better & safer footing

.

✅ Reflective/light up vests/headlamps for darkness

.

✅ Set rules for yourself: If it’s above “x” degrees outside, then you have to run outside instead of inside. Not only is training outside better for race day performance (your races are outside so you want to simulate race environments), but you also get therapeutic and mental health benefits from getting outside too
