I've been off the wagon for a while, way too busy with work lately. Over the summer, I got into running and have been missing it. I want to get back now that I've got work almost under control, but I've never been able to run in the cold. Any tips?

    My daughter has asthma and struggles badly when it's cold - run in sunlight (little warmer) and make sure you breath - slow the pace if your huffing and puffin a bit

    today is about 10-12 degress celcius here sun is shining. I have to layer, bra, tshirt long sleeved shirt and windbreaker, it is quite windy this time of year too, very hard on my ears, I have my mp3 in,but also head a head band around my ears.

    It sucks. loved going out in shorts and a t-shirt.

    I use a fleece headband to keep my ears warm. Wear a dryfit shirt closest to your body to absorb the sweat...otherwise you'll be very very cold when you're done.

    On the positive side of running in the cold, I always run faster in the cold! Especially the first 10-15 minutes as I warm up. I also drink warm water after running in the cold weather ... I chill down really fast in my chest when Im finished.
