10 Reasons to Embrace Cold Weather Running

January 3, 2012

1. More fun running gear. Wind pants anyone?

2. Nearly frozen GU is a delicacy. 

3. Who cares about a Klout score? Your badass quotient will soar.

4. You’ll want to pick up the pace before your water, and everything else, freezes solid.

5. Because the wildlife will be entertained when you slip and fall on your ass
 and mutter some choice words.

6. Black ice = balance training.

7. Because frost-encrusted eyelashes are all the rage.

8. Wind = resistance training.
9. Who doesn’t love an electrolyte Slurpee?

10. Because when you toe the starting line on race day, you’ll think back to the conditions you overcame in training and you’ll know you’re more than ready to tackle whatever the day brings.

How cold is too cold for running outside?
I draw a line in the ice at zero.

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
