Winter Wellness Tips
Running through the winter…Advice?
I have had bad luck in the past staying with my running program in the winter- I need advice in terms of specific clothing, health and wellness tips (seems like I get colds easily), magazines for gear….
Thank you very much!
My general rule of thumb is to wear layers and always dress for 20 degrees warmer than it actually is. Remember that your body will heat up fast so you don’t need to go overboard on the gear. Make sure you’ve got a warm hat and gloves to keep yourself protected.
If it’s icy or snowy outside you may want to invest in something called YakTracks. They’re essentially a rubber mold you fit on your shoe with spikes that grip into the ice so you avoid slipping.
Even though it’s not hot and you won’t feel like you’re working TOO hard, be sure you stay on top of hydration. Force yourself to keep drinking during your long runs and practice fueling on cue.
I think the most challenging part of winter running is getting the motivation to get out there and train in chilly temps. Once you get into a habit though, it’ll become second nature.
