Cold Weather Training Tips:

Training in the cold can be dangerous if the proper precautions and preparations are not followed.

1. Make your winter training a social gathering. Going out in groups will help keep you motivated in the winter cold.

2. Wear layers:- Base layer of wicking material for moisture management (polyester).
- Mid-layer for insulation (Fleece).
- Outer layer to block the wind (Gore-Tex).

3. Make sure to wear a hat and don't forget your gloves to prevent exposure to the hands. 50% of body heat can be lost through
the head.

4. Try to avoid overdressing. Your body will start to warm up after a minute or two of running.

5. Drinking a high carbohydrate energy drink on the run will help maintain your immune system.

6. During extreme weather conditions, apply a thin layer of vaseline to you face.

7. In snowy weather, wear bright colors with reflective material.
