Best Winter Running Tips

In Russia, during wintertime, I use my grandfather's old soviet space suit when it's -30C. And I adding bearskin underpants when it's below -40C.

You should wear sunglasses in the winter even on non-sunny days. It will help protect your eyes from the dry, frigid wind. 😎

[@arinmccarthy5525]

I'm a guy, and team tights. It throws some people completely off seeing a dude in tights. Never understood why it's cool for women, but not for the fellas?

Also team tights. But im a big guy and new runner. So shorts that are knee-ish height over tights and compression socks. Keep my less than fit body covered! I figured im already an odd sight in hi viz saucony jacket, so i add bright or fun pattern compression socks:)

[@Huzub]

I suppose running on ice is usually called ice skating :) On snow, however, with trail shoes, great fun!

[@Saiarts_yt]

😂😂😂 true!!!!! Or strength train

[@trwolfie]

I realise I'm here a year late, but trail running shoes with studs give extra grip on ice (mentioned in the video), and if it's really icy, check out Kahtoola Microspikes. They're like crampons but for running - metal spikes that you can strap on to the bottom of your running shoes for extra grip.

[@The_VANtastic_Pack]

I always like running with a hydration vest pack. That way as i get warmer i can peel off the layers and stash them in my pack on my back. Then when I'm done i can put layers back on as i cool down.

[@ghostie7790]

Showing how you dress was very helpful. I got into running during quarantine, but I’m in Albany NY and I’m worried about the winter running. The running clothes looked expensive too 😭 I’ll try my best.

[@ovivan79]

Doesn‘t have to be expensive. Check out Old Navy and Eddie Bauer clothing for good value for affordable prices.

[@annahitarad6740]

You got me motivated to go run outside in the cold weather

[@MrFuture263]

No, it is discipline

[@slkendall85]

Real talk, I run down to -30’sC in Winnipeg and my biggest problem areas are cold bum post running (trying an insulated skirt this year), cuts on my eyelids from cold sub -30c (have tried ski goggles but they steam and ice up), and not feeling like you are getting water boarded by your buff (breathing holes are optimal). Also important to bring dry gloves for your cold walk back to your vehicle after you cool off too much hanging out with run friends post-run. Often I can’t rewarm myself (especially bum!) later in the night once I get home and need a heated blanket or warm shower. Typically to run at -20 to -30 I wear: merino longjohns, top and bottom, a pair of wind proof cross country ski pants, a second thermal layer and windproof later up top, wool socks, icebug shoes with carbide spikes, a merino buff or preferably icebreaker balaclava with hole for your nose, a wool toque over ear bags because my ears hurt if they get cold/windy, smart wool neck gaiter, and thinner gloves than you would imagine, my hands get too warm once I start running.

[@Morfeusm]

wow kudos, coldest I ever ran was -15C. It was ok, just can not imagine -30C!

@@PegasStar It’s part of the training as well. You get used to it. Most important is to keep the wind away and preventing from cooling out. A baselayer shirt, long running shirt and a windbreaker is usually enough if it’s not under 2 degree celsius. As she mentioned, warm up before you go for the run. It helps a lot.

[@keithc7262]

Ran all winter last year. Thin cold weather thermal layer with gym shorts over, and always last thing on is a neon bright green tee over everything. Very light weight led light to carry for extra lighting to be seen. Used the runners mask quite a bit as well, and warm medium beenie. Cheers!

[@squash_is_life7996]

Great video! I live in Prince George, BC Canada and we certainly are running in the elements +/- 4 months out of the year. I picked up some good points from your video and was reassured on most others. I run with the Yaktrax Pro on a running shoe (Saucony Ride 7 gortex) having little grip. I find this gives the Yaktrax full surface area when in contact with the ice and snow. This provides excellent grip and I never have a close call. Call me crazy, but I much prefer winter running to summer running. Anyone else think the same??

[@TayLybb]

Thanks. Good tips. From Utah here. I prefer to train outside in the winter, even more than the rest of the year. I alternate long and short sleave layers. I only wear a jacket if its 10 F or less outside or snow / raining.

[@sarahsimmons8921]

dang, you're a machine!

[@Mookiethedog]

Another good idea is to bring along a phone/money whatever to get yourself a cab or out of the cold in case you get hurt when it’s cold out. The body cools down real fast it’s a good bit of insurance to have just in case. I ran in -7c today and it was lovely with no wind and decent footing on a logging road. Great video

[@dontbeadrone]

My favorite runs are in 20-30F weather...but only longer, slower runs. I made the mistake, today, of trying to do Norwegian Intervals in 22F degree weather, and learned the hard way just how much sub-freezing temps constrict the air passages and lungs.

[@gm2407]

Regarding sweating. If you are overweight you are likely to sweat regardless of layers so bear that in mind, as indoor exercise might be better as bmi range for your height you are likely to maintain heat due to body fat. Pleanty of formally overweight people who have reached a bmi range considered correct for them have said they feel cold in room temperature.

I just started this year running in winter. One thing I've noticed is my heart rate is higher at the same pace and intensity that I run in the spring and summer? The other day, I felt fine running my long run (did 9.5 miles at about 12:30 pace) and didn't feel like I was pushing myself hard. I ran at a somewhat slow pace and could carry a conversation with short breaths here and there. I also felt fine temperature wise--I didn't feel too cold or too warm. I'm somewhat new to running and I don't know what to make of this? Any thoughts? By comparison, in the spring and summer, this same pace and intensity my hear rate is around 130. For this winter run, it had my average heart rate around 150 (with my max rate reaching 172).

Wtf! my way to go: 12 Celcius: Shorts + Shirt (1 layer) 8 Celcius: Long pants + Shirt + Longsleeve (2 layers) Take gloves, prob not needed 4 Celcius: Add another shirt (3 layers) + gloves 0 Celcius: Add loos neckscarve below zero I might add a thick sweater + 2nd layer of long pants lol

[@gm2407]

Britain here. Cold starts at anything you can slip over on ice. I don't mind completing a run when it is snowing. Just don't want slick pavements or road where it has melted and frozen again. Anything with actual ice means walking only. To big to risk a full on ice slip, would hurt myself. If I am not walking anywhere I will do a spin or some free weights for my exercise.
