There is some preparation that goes into running in the cold weather, as what you wear is as important as anything.
For some people, this is the ideal time to be outside. No longer dealing with the heat and humidity of the summer, the brisk weather is a welcome change. It is also prime time toBut, like preparing your body for the high temperatures, it takes some preparation to be ready to run in the low temperatures as well. Over at, Susan Paul has shared some tips on how you can safely run in the cold weather and how to layer up.
But, make sure there is a plan for after the run. For as fast as your body heats up while doing the physical activity, it will cool down once you stop. Ideally, your run will end wherever you are staying and you can take the wet clothes off and jump into the shower immediately. If not, make sure to have a change of dry clothes ready to go.As you move along your run, you can remove outer layers when appropriate, such as a jacket or long-sleeve shirt.
Another helpful tip shared is how to calculate the actual temperature when you are running. A general rule of thumb is to add 20 degrees to the outdoor temperature if a hard workout or long run is planned for someone who warms up easily. 10-15 degrees can be added for easier paces or for people who get cold easily.
If possible, plan your run so that the wind is at your back when on the return portion of your run. If you are running into the wind, it can get chilly quickly given how sweaty a person will be.
