Any Runners on here?

Braved the elements at 6 am this morning and got 4.5 miles in at -8.. previous best for running in the cold was -5.

To be honest it wasn't too bad once I'd warmed up, in fact I probably found it easier than running in hot summer temperatures!

Out of interest, what's the coldest you've ever run in?

Was running in austria at about -12 a week or so ago. As you say its not bad once you get going. Only problem i had was i had to wear a hat cos sweat was freezing on me as i was running!!

I have run to the toilet a few times but that's about it. :yes:

I run all the time, usually with a backpack on, but rarely in these temps. Only because of traction.

Worst ever was about -14. Last year!

I have cycled to work frequently in these conditions though.

I live on the foot of the pennines so its always brass monkeys.

This week it was -10 cycling into work. My toes were stinging as they were so cold.. :'(

I've been cycling to work the last few weeks while the car is off the road. That was a bit parky middle of last week when we had -13 degrees C here! Couple that with, say, 15mph cycling speed, this equates to windchill of about -25! Took a bit of defrosting when I got to work . . .
