1. Layers! Run with layers. Too warm you can layer down or switch out a layer for another if one gets too sweaty or wet. Having a wind resistant layer keeps the
cold bite away. A good base layer will keep the sweat away from your body keeping you warm.
2. Headbands or Hats: Covering your head helps conserve body heat
3. Be Brave Start Cold: Dress for slightly warmer temperature than it is: about 10 degrees warmer. Your body will heat up once it starts moving. * remember to change out of your running clothes as quickly as possible post run. Keeping a warm sweater in your car and stretching at home will help prevent post run chills*
4. Don’t worry about your pace. Running in the snow and ice is more work. Winter training is time to focus on increasing your milage and staying consistent. It is not the time to increase your speed. You do not want to end up slipping and creating an injury.
5. Run with a group or another person. Running with others will help you to stay accountable. It harder to bail on a workout when someone else is waiting for you.
