Many people, especially new runners,
believe that running in cold weather is
harmful. This is simply not the case for
healthy individuals. Some people even think
that the lungs can actually freeze -- again,
not possible, even in the coldest places on
the planet. When a person takes a breath,
the nose, mouth and throat warm the
entering air, so that by the time it reaches
the lungs, it has warmed to near body
temperature.
Several websites note that the most
important thing for people who run in cold
conditions is to wear the right clothing.
Keeping as dry as possible is most
important when exercising in low
temperatures. Wear mittens on your hands
instead of gloves. Wear shoes that will keep
you from falling. And especially, wear more
than one layer of clothing to keep sweat
away from your skin.
So, if you are a runner, don’t let winter
weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready
for the low temperatures and start running.
