Cold is the easiest weather to run in. You warm up in 90 seconds and stay there. Dress for ten degrees warmer than it is.

  • Cover the extremities: hat, gloves, neck.
  • Two thin layers beat one thick one.
  • Start into the wind so you finish with it at your back.

How cold is too cold?

Below −15 °C with windchill, take it inside or shorten it. Above that, fine.

Will my lungs get damaged?

No. Cover your mouth with a buff if it stings. Healthy lungs handle cold air.
