Race day arrives, and the forecast looks frigid. Here’s exactly what you need for cooler temps.
Remind yourself that cool weather is a marathoner’s dream, and remain calm. The perfect temperature foris around 48 to 52 degrees. At that sweet spot, the body doesn’t waste energy staying warm in the cold or cooling off in the heat. So you’ll want to dress in light layers to avoid overheating once the race starts.
The typical rule is to dress for 15 to 20 degrees warmer than the current temperature. Dressing lightly allows for your body temperature to rise as you run without causing you to overheat. Youto feel chilled at the starting line, but comfortable and warm as you wait. If you’re toasty warm as you set off when it’s cold outside, you’re definitely overdressed, and that can greatly affect your performance.
