Running during the winter months is challenging for me though because I strongly dislike running outside when it’s cold. I’ve tried to like it. I’ve done it a few times. I just don’t enjoy it. All I’m thinking about is getting it over with and I usually stop well before I need to…
A) I’ve bought awesome cold weather clothes, but I hate working out in layers after I’m warmed up, as I just feel restricted in my movement. Maybe my years of dancing in leotards and tights are to blame… either way, I perform at my best without a bunch of ish on: jacket, gloves, hat, etc.
B) The cold, damp air kills my throat and I just end up a snotty mess. Frozen snot on my face does nothing for my already irritated mood.
C) When it’s cold out, I just end up hauling ass to complete my route, which usually causes me to run faster than I should, in turn causing me to run outta gas way too soon.

How is your running in the winter?
Disclaimer: This is a combo that I do. If you want to give it a whirl: Beginning runners, you might not do as much, as fast. Advanced runners, this combo probably won’t do much for you unless you increase the speed/duration of each section. Either way, I’m just sharing a combo, not programming for anybody. Run responsibly and track your heart rate as you go.
I’m with you, I don’t like running outside in the cold or rain/snow. So I turn to the treadmill. But I’m not too keen on running anyway, so I definitely have to keep it changing, either incline or speed, to keep me going and even remotely interested. I’m excited to try your combo!
