Running in the cold feels really hard...

No such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing! What are you struggling with?

I’m not entirely sure! I go out and feel a bit like running through treacle, everything just seems harder, pace is slower, lungs hurt quickly and more.

When it’s freezing I wear gloves and long sleeve t shirt.

[Duma]

I like a headband in the cold - nice for the ears.

[SA Chris]

I have a cut down cotton buff to protect ears, and another I wear round my neck, and take them off wrap around wrist if I get too warm.

I personally hate running with gloves, hands get really sweaty, much prefer an (Lululemon on sale, amazing quality) oversize long sleeve top and pull sleeves down.

And some slightly fleecy leggings, which definitely help, Decathlon ones, not too expensive.

And best luxury, pair or feetures merino 10 cushion socks, which are expensive, but brilliant. Wore them with soaking wet feet for 7.5 hours on Ring of Steall, no cold (apart from wading through river) no discomfort, no blisters.

Do you find your pace/times vary with temperature or are you pretty consistent?

[SA Chris]

Way quicker in cooler weather, much prefer it.

Double figures and I'm going to bits high teens or 20s and I'm reduced to a slow trot.

I do a bit of a warm up before starting though, which i rarely do in warmer weather, but probably still should.

28/1 ZILCH
29/1 8km run (one of my best ever mainly due to almost complete lack of discomfort and / or niggles), repeaters, 1arms, various weights, etc

Weight down to 97.0 this morning, so that's exactly 6kg this month. Hoping for a little bit more before Monday am.

Added a few hills to the cycle commute this morning. Probably 60 mins total today.

Ended up walking further than expected during the day. Probably 20+k

[bolehillbilly]

Late afternoon 90mins at local cliff. Struggled with the warm ups but got going and had a decent session before the mist came in at dusk.

I’ve had to do most of my running after dark this week, and when it’s been say under 5 I’ve struggled most. I don’t think I’d be any good high teens, but it’s probably the happy medium 7-11 or something that’s good.

I’m bad at warming up.

[Nutty]

28th - More stretching, push-ups, goblet squats, ab-rolls.

29th - Good board session. More stretching and some core exercises.
