Tips for Running Outdoors in Winter

Running in winter

In general, low temperatures should not be an impediment to running outdoors in winter. Contrary to what many people think, it's never too cold to get out there and keep fit with a good run. Well almost never, as you will see later.

Despite this, it is important to keep in mind that pay attention to the body when temperatures are seriously cold. This will tell us if we are no longer safe or there is a risk of injury or everything is fine and we can continue with our career normally.

If it is so cold that you are hurting or hurting yourself, it will not be worth any benefit you can get from exercising outside. If you are running outdoors in winter and experience sharp joint pain or a feeling of unsteadiness, go to shelter as soon as possible. And consider visiting your doctor.

To prevent joint injuries and stay safe from all the health hazards of the cold - such as colds - it is essential to wear several layers of clothing. In addition, experts recommend a good warm-up and always keep moving not to cool down, as well as to lubricate the joints.

-27 ºC is the limit

When thermometers drop to this temperature, the cold becomes a potential health threat. There is a risk of joint pain and even frostbite. The best thing to do in this case is to choose to train indoors. And still, evaluate the conditions and comfort, and pay close attention to the sensation in the joints.
