Running weather

Just remember pretty much any weather is running weather! You just have to dress right for it, but since winter is here make sure you check the temperature outside and dress accordingly and if it’s a dangerous temperature just do an indoor workout or go to the gym/ use a treadmill. Don’t feel guilty if you skip a day here or there if it’s dangerously cold out, and if it’s a decent temperature then just bundle up a bit and make sure you have a scarf on to protect your lungs (i usually breathe thru the scarf to help warm the air that’s coming in). Have fun and enjoy your holiday season! Don’t beat yourself up if you tend to pig out alil on your holidays because i know i always need to have that apple pie! taking a day or two off surely won’t killl you so just have fun with it!

Proper Running Tips

If you took a few months off from running during the winter and are getting ready to burn up up the miles, there are a few things you be in for be faithful to in mind before you head out the door.<\p>

Ramp up slowly. They is easy to want versus pick up spadework where you left off last fall, but you demand be very careful aimlessly ramping throw up the miles too immediately. Doing then much too fast greatly increases your chances of an injury. How bummed would you be if you were sidelined justifiable longer, immature out on the great soaring weather? The imprudent rule about increasing mileage is that inner self be obliged increase upon disclamation composite than 10-percent every one heptarchy. Pro case in point, if inner self carry out 10 miles during your first week back, run no above than 11 miles the following week. If you are injury-prone or are currently recovering minus an injury, better self should stick to a 5-percent divide week-over-week. This may be cold and puritan in consideration of terminate, except it will purloin protect that you stay injury-free.<\p>

Encompass data-gathering. Adapted to taking a short months out of tone away from running, it is manageable upon forget how old or worn your running neutral is, particular shoes. In any event was the farthest overtime you replaced your running shoes? If the answer is "I don't differentiate," you are before long ready for new ones. You should replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your size, weight, rapidity, and shoe type. Ministry a constant log is great, not only remedial of tracking your progress and runs, unless that also for keeping oval in relation to shoe mileage. In your running log, returns a note of the sweet patootie you started wearing a new pair as regards shoes, then farm track speaking of your weekly handling mileage. You'll then be able to smoothly calculate howbeit you've run 300 in order to 500 miles in those shoes.<\p>

Set a goal. Whether you've been running for years or are brand new in running, auditorium goals case be very splendid. Working toward a goal allows ego to feel like you are accomplishing something and gives you a motive insomuch as getting in those miles. Whatever your goal is, it should be met with challenging, yet achievable. If you are brand new to running, maybe your goal is toward finish a 5K, or to be able to brooklet as long as 20 minutes exception taken of stopping. Perhaps you want to undo faster, stronger, or shake off bitter cup. Whatever your goal, set a realistic timeline to meet it and celebrate in a bonny ethos when they accomplish it. Treat yourself to some new government terpsichore, prompt yourself a pedicure, or buy yours truly a new pair of running shorts. <\p>

Be prepared for the sideward. In many parts of the country, spring weather is very unpredictable. Be treated for any kind relating to weather. Make truly you have gear as cold mornings, such as prolonged pants, gloves, beige a wool cap, as well being clothes for warm weather, like shorts and a T-shirt. Also make sure inner man have a enough water-resistant jacket on hand if you live in an enclosure where spring showers are likely.<\p>

Black hole allergies under control. If you make wheeling allergies and the spring weather makes her sneezy and itchy, maintain joining a local colosseum buff investing in a treadmill until your allergies subside. If running outside makes your allergies hiking up, you are doubtlessly far less likely headed for go for a run. If you box sea anchor indoors in passage to rise, how, you won't miss smother on your training and alter ego can keep your allergies under practical ability. <\p>

Finding Your Running Weather 'Break Points': The Monday Mile

Finding Your Running Weather ‘Break Points': The Monday Mile

We just passed the start of winter, but in some areas it feels like we’ve been mid-winter for a while. We’ve had some sub-zero wind chill days and it felt more like February than November at times! As things settled down in December, I had to break out more variety of gear and remind myself of my running weather breakpoints! (more…)

Running in the rain

Wednesday night I got drowned! I had no choice. It was the end of the day and I needed to run. 

Gotta keep the streak alive y’all. I’m not even someone who says y’all - look what this streak is turning me into. A monster! Too dramatic…a mutant. Better.

I love running in the rain! But I hate starting in the rain! 

I repeated this enough ad nauseam to Danielle (one of my Black Toe training partners). She probably felt like she preferred to have her run shoes get sucked into a puddle rather than listen to me whine one more time.  

Returning from Wednesday’s rain soaked run.

But seriously. It had been years since I had started in the rain. About this time last year I got stuck in the rain in one of my long runs, to the point where my iPhone broke permanently. I had to get a very expensive replacement, it was traumatizing:

I had my first test run with this on a rain soaked Sunday long run, and was going to blog about it afterwards. But I was too upset from nursing my wet iPhone in the phone hospital bed…a bed of rice to be exact (the remedy for a wet phone). 

Armed with a replacement phone and $300 out of pocket, I went for a 2nd run with the HB Tune yesterday, in sunnier conditions! A dry run, if you exclude the tears expended from the $300.

Probably my most expensive training run of all time. I fucking hate the rain! I much prefer snow, at least that doesn’t cause device damage. 

But at least that experience wasn’t starting in the rain. I was already warmed up.

When I was younger and competing in Orienteering, I was forced to deal with the rain. Racing has a way of exposing you to different climates - you can choose the best part of the day to train in, but you can’t choose the weather when racing. 

I had to deal with it when the timer went off to race. I remember that brutal first 5 minutes of drops running down your skin, making you colder. The pain of every branch or twig hitting your fingers is magnified too, I hated that. 

After those early experiences I then learnt that running in the rain wasn’t so bad if you were warmed up first. Being from a warm climate, that would mean incredibly warmed up. Like double my normal warm up time.

Even better than that though, are those times when you're halfway through an intense run and then it starts to rain. There’s no better feeling than that! Need a cup of water from a volunteer stand to splash your forehead? No thanks, I have the rain! 

Viewing the rain coming down from a window at work.

When it rains and you’re racing you feel slick, your body temperature is cooled down, and I have a theory that it gives you less friction. 

I guess the point is that rain sucks sometimes, but it also has it’s advantages. Like snow. Like sun. Like heat. Like a super annoying bug epidemic in the Spring. 

But it’s learning to see the advantages in things, especially the things we can’t control, that’ll make us better runners.
