If it\u2019s snowy and icy, it's best to slow down to be safe, and if it\u2019s particularly cold, all that frosty air is going to affect your breathing. One time on a winter run I ran too fast, and breathed too heavily and afterwards I had a sore throat. Don\u2019t do what I did. Try jogging at a pace where you can inhale and exhale through your nose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need a giant sweater or fancy gear to stay warm on a cold run. A few layers are your best bet and you\u2019d be surprised how quickly you warm up. A med-light long-sleeve with a T-shirt on the top or bottom is a good starter for weather around 0 degrees. You can add and subtract from there depending on the conditions. Hats are always required and the opposite of this rule is also true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2023\/01\/shoes-1-1024x729.png\")
I can\u2019t speak for other platforms, but the Nike app has great running guides that can help with setting a healthy pace, whether that be for your next winter run or your first-ever run. The guides are actual experts so you can trust them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t need to run a certain mileage or sprint at a specific pace. You don\u2019t need to prove anything to anyone. You\u2019re allowed and encouraged to make running an enjoyable experience for you. If that means taking breaks to walk, slowing down or drinking water, do it. The best thing you can do for yourself is to be kind to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
