Staying warm

[Samsmate]

How to stay warm when going for a run. I tend to feel the cold and the thought of running in the cold has stopped me going for a run. I graduated from C25k and have done a parkrun and now lost motivation

I wear a vest, thin hoodie and thin rain mac - this normally stops the wind chill and when I heat up I can unzip the jacket 🌨⛈🌧🌫🌊☔️☃️💦

Do you get warm once you start running? In the winter, I tend to layer up with a long sleeved top and then hoodie/ fleecy top over and on very cold days I wear a vest underneath the long sleeved top but I quite often find myself having to strip off a layer once I’ve started running, even on cold days like this morning. I think the thought of being out in it is worse than actually being out in it and once you start you realise it’s fine. I also find wearing a buff over my ears/ top of my head helps keep some warmth in.

I do warm up eventually but it takes a while, it thought of the cold to start with.

Layers! Saying that, I put my shorts on tonight! 🤣 shorts, long socks, long sleeved top, gilet and buff! 👍🏻 never forget the buff!

Layers is the only way to keep warm.

Do check out the guide to post C25k running healthunlocked.com/couchto5... it is full of tips.

Neck scarf/buff, beanie if it's really cold and I've been pleasantly surprised with how comfy and warm this is:

Would definitely recommend.
