Running in the cold

I have been doing a fair bit of road running recently, and until this weather kicked in (cold) I could run about 6-7 miles quite comfortably. However in the cold air I seem to really struggle for breath, is there anything to do with cold air affecting breathing ?

 

I always get wheezy when I run in cold weather.

 

Yes, makes your lungs tighten. It'll pay off in the summer

 

I preferred it, however my idea of cold is probably a lot differant to yours!!

 

Try wearing something covering your mouth, like a scarf or whatever.

 

i always preferred running in the cold but fog and frost can **** your chest up.

 

That's what I do. Works pretty good.

 

Last month i was running in the 'fog' early in the morning. It had a slight tinge to it... then I realized it was actually a dust storm.

So yeh, dust storms are bad for your lungs too. :nono

 

In the cold you burn more energy, dyhidrate qiucker.

 

So is there any benefits from running in the cold other than you feel the benefits more in the summer ?

 

JG explain benefits in the summer Biy as regards Feel.

 

Try a balaclava.

 

Running in the cold can give me a feeling of burning lungs.

 

Shouldt, its reached body temperature by the time it gets there.

 

It corresponds to how fit I am, but by and large I am fit anyway.
