I used to do cold weather running as well, and the worst part about it for me wasn't the sniffles & whatnot. It was getting cold feet. Literally. Thumping through the snow & puddles made my feet very cold, even when the rest of me was hot from the exercise.
Turns out I was wearing the wrong socks. They were cotton, which are murder because they hold moisture like a sponge. So I went to the local running store and picked up a few pairs of socks made with a material that wicks moisture away from the skin. Made all the difference in the world. |
