Running in cold weather can seem like a terrible idea, especially if you’re an inexperienced runner looking to start with this activity. Fortunately, there are ways to make it pleasant. These are our best tips.
Warm-Up
It’s necessary to warm up your muscles before you step outside. It’s simple: just do some lunges, air squats, and donkey kicks, and you’re good to go. Your body will be ready to start running and you won’t be as cold.
Windproof Jacket
If you can get a windproof jacket that’s also breathable you will ensure a great running experience. You definitely don’t need to invest too much in running equipment otherwise, except for a good pair of running shoes (that don’t need to be that expensive).
Small Loops
It’s a good idea to make small loops, at least in the beginning. That way, if you want to stop running sooner than planned, you won’t be too far from home.
Run With Someone
Having someone to keep you company will make running much more fun, so if your SO or best friend is up for it, definitely run together!
