I want to go for my run but not sure. Is it too cold?

It’s chilly until you run, then it is utterly balmy, assuming you are in the UK? If you are in Canada , Finland or similar you will need extra layers 😉

Go get warm!

I ran this morning (in the UK) at 6am and it was -2. Lovely! I overlayered though, and got too hot…had to strip off two layers whilst on the go!

Perfectly safe to run when it is cold as long as the surface you are running on is not icy.

I love the sensation of red hot cheeks when you come in from a cold run. :-)

I went out a little while ago. 1 degree here. Perfect. The sun is shining and all is well with the world. Put your gear on and go

If you're anything like me you will be cold when you start and hot when you finish. I haven't got the knack of stripping off while running, I'd probably fall over.

Minus 4 wasn't too cold, but I did have a short sleeved t shirt on top of my long sleeved t shirt in honour of the number of sub zero degrees. I love starting a run with my hands frozen in gloves and then they warm up so much the gloves have to come off.

There's no such thing as bad weather just bad clothes.
