I went out and bought all the necessities for my first winter run ever. -8 Celcius with a windchill of -12. Couldn't have done it without this informative video! Since I'm a total beginner I thought I would share a few extra tips: 1. Your face will feel very cold at first and then get warmer as the run goes on. Then your lungs will feel cold from breathing in the cold air. Power through. Breathing through the nose helps. 2. Wear lipbalm... Trust me, you're gonna need it with all that cold air passing through your lips. 3. Bring a tissue. You aren't the only thing running, your nose will run too! 4. Your glasses/goggles will fog up if too close to your face. 5. The cooldown period after the jog will be significantly shorter. Don't stray too far from the warmth of your vehicle. 6. Finally... Careful not to burn your mouth on the chicken broth!!!

These are all very true, thanks for sharing them! Happy to help. It took me a long time to get into winter running, and hey, I'll still take a gorgeous 72 & sunny day, but it's better than treadmill running! Happy you liked the broth. I almost didn't throw it in there since it's a little off-the-wall, but *MAN*, isn't it just the best? It's liquid gold after 2 hours in 20degrees. Happy running!

One more thing, one should ALWAYS wear something that's both high vis and reflective. One thing that works great, is a running high vis reflective vest, as you can wear it over pretty much anything.

Great video brother! Keep me coming.

I wish I had watched this very useful, more budget friendly review before I purchased 100% merino wool leggings, under layering shirts and a merino wool windbreaker (other reviews recommended). I tend to run hot as well but I hate being cold on a run or cool down. *BEST TIP EVER* The chicken paste and water waiting in the car. I tried this yesterday in 30 degree, heavy snow 5 mile run. All I could think of was the chicken soup in my car (while enjoying the run, of course)! Best reward ever! Great tips!

Good for you getting out in the snow though! I can deal with cold, but snow running is its own beast for sure. I also run pretty hot; it's surprising how little you actually need once you get going. Think about it like this, at least you have nice merino stuff (merino is great!) And happy you liked the chicken broth thing. Like you, I just crave it on cold runs. It's so good! 🤣

I moved from Nicaragua to Poland and did not have any idea on how to dress, already suffered coldness and suffocation but your video has answered all my doubts. Thank you so much!

Very cool stuff. I needed this as winter is fast approaching and I'm a new runner.

So much useful info; thanks!

First time taking running outside serious in the winter here too! Definitely make sure to get some microspikes and some serious shoes. I'm in gilmanton, do a lot of backroad and trail running so if you're more in the concord/manchester area you may be fine I'd still get some sort of ice gripping product just maybe not as hardcore as microspikes. We can get A LOT of ice in belknap county, itll snow one day, be 40° the next and melt and then the next day is 10° yet looks like spring. White mountains area is heaven in the winter they get snow and keep it 😆 I imagine it's less icy I know that's true for woodland trails and ski resorts. New Hampshire is three states in one I'd definitely ask around for location specific advice. Even if you dont know anyone who runs outside near you, you could always talk with local small sports shops. Specifically small businesses because those sales positions are super competitive around here so you're more likely to get someone who knows what they're talking about.

Love Alaska’s lovely -40 (F) weather outside. Just gotta outrun the cold!

Another emergency option is rubber gloves underneath the insulation layers. Durden is right though... With zero breathability you definitely increase the risk for moisture/ etc

Hey Justin. Thank you so much for this video. I've been struggling to figure out my winter running gear. Sometimes I've got sick from running in the past and recently, I find after I feel really cold for the rest of the day and it's still around 10 degrees C. But I think my mistake was using a water proof insulated jacket, so I was sweating a lot on the inside, and probably sometimes got some drafts going up the jacket. Thanks again!

@JustinDoesTriathlon

4 жыл бұрын

Happy to help! I try to be on the more minimal, “buy less, run more” kick as much as possible, but the closer you are to freezing, the more the right gear really does start to affect your experience. I probably blame marketing a bit (“you don’t want to be wet, do you? Buy waterproof gear”) but if you’ve been running in a waterproof insulated jacket, no wonder you’re unhappy, especially at ~10c. Anything between like 1-10 is a hard temp to dress for. It kinda sucks, but honestly if you can endure being cold for the first ten minutes or so, you’ll warm into a good rhythm. A long sleeve merino would be my go to there, with MAYBE a very light insulated jacket (like the one in my video.) Not waterproof, not thick at all. 10c feels cool when you start, but even a little insulation will overdo it if you’re running; prioritize breathability. If you’re soaking wet, you’ll be unhappy.

Justin, Thanks for the informative comments and product reviews. Three things that I never thought of...and have never seen at any races...1) a race belt(genius), 2) the broth/boullion recharge and 3) running eye wear. Could you do a video about safe running at night/winter conditions?

Well, two things! 1, my vision is good enough that during the summer I mostly just go without glasses. 2, in the winter I use my beanie to help keep them in place. But yeah, it's not ideal. I have astigmatism, rub my eyes, and the few contact options were all uncomfortably to me, so contacts just didn't work for me. I like glasses overall, but if my vision degrades past where it's at (-1.5 and -1.75) I imagine I'd probably eventually get lasic. I'm not sure. :(

Obviously this is dependent on location, but here in the Pacific NW, it most definitely IS going to be raining in the winter, so some kind of water repellent fabric is almost a necessity. Waterproof not so much, as those materials will not be wicking.

@JustinDoesTriathlon

3 жыл бұрын

Sort of agree. I think it depends on your goals. I've pretty much accepted that if I'm running in rain (I live in Seattle, so...) I'm pretty much going to get wet. I've had the best luck with breathable fabrics paired with merino wool and synthetic insulation. In light rain, that seems to do a good job. Heavy rain, then I might pair it with an ultralight, breathable water repellant layer (like a loose Frogg Toggs or Patagonia Houdini) just to shed off that continual intrusion of water. But yeah, running in 33-50f and rain is *by far* my least favorite running condition. By far.

do you often run with your glasses on?

@JustinDoesTriathlon

6 жыл бұрын

My sunglasses/clear glasses, or my actual glasses? Always to the first, almost never to the second. I'm lucky enough that my prescription is fairly light, so I can see well enough to be comfortable without wearing them. Unlucky though that I have astigmatism and *really* do not react well to contacts, so it's not as simple as being able to just go grab some cheapo +.5 drug store glasses or whatever. I have had times where I've run with my actual glasses (trail runs I'm unfamiliar with,) but I usually just go without since that's an option for me. If I just actually couldn't see without glasses, I'd probably use an old pair with those rubber back of the neck straps and then tighten it down so they won't move at all. I've thought about the sport glasses thing, but with my vision it's just not worth the $$$ to me.

How did you find that out? Lol
