A few simple tips to make running in the cold more enjoyable

Even though temperatures have dropped dramatically, runners continue to train at all hours, regardless of the weather. But be sure to keep in mind the proper “behavior” to follow when running in the cold.

First, wear form-fitting technical clothing that helps regulate your body temperature by wicking sweat away from your skin. That’s why Oxyburn technology meets the needs of runners—even the most extreme ones—with temperature-regulating and extremely breathable fabrics.

Don’t wear too many layers, because while running, you run the risk of sweating excessively—which is counterproductive— and undermining your workout by causing excessive fluid loss.

Spend at least a quarter of an hour warming up before your run, giving your body time to “warm up.” Otherwise, you risk pulling a muscle, but you also might not be able to run as well as you’d like.

It is essential to protect your feet and hands with warm, specialized clothing: socks and gloves are essential for your comfort while running.

It’s important to protect your head, forehead, and ears from the cold with hats and headbands: a frozen forehead and ears are uncomfortable and can lead to colds.

Watch out for ice! It could cause falls or injuries. In that case, snow is better—much better—and it’s also great for training.

Choose the hottest times of the day—such as your lunch break—for your workouts. That way, you can enjoy the beneficial effects of sunlight.

Cold weather is just a temporary weather condition—you don’t need to be afraid of it. In other words, don’t use the cold, rain, or snow… as a valid excuse for not going out to train!
