Running in the Cold Tips

1. Start your run, running with the wind

- to begin your run, don't brace the harsh winds beating your face right off the bat, let yourself warmup a little first. Preferably do a drop-off run , and you never have to run against the wind.

2. Go out at a slower pace then usual

- When your body is so cold, your going to be a little more stiff at the beginning, so gradually work your way up to a faster pace.

3. Keep your feet dry

- Having wet feet can ruin an entire run. Once your socks are wet its game over, so i recommend always packing extra socks and even doubling up on extreme conditions.

4. Watch out for Icy spots

- There is nothing worse than wiping out on a run. Slow down on turns, and if you can't directly see the ground, just take it easy.

5. Change out of damp running clothes right away

- Even when its so cold outside, under all those layers you will sweat, and once your wet that's when a brutal freeze can really set in, so try and get dry clothes on as soon as possible.

Honestly I just recommend running on a treadmill anytime it's negative outdoors, Happy Running!
