I could use some tips on running in cold weather. Pllllllllease no jokes about it not getting cold in Texas.
I started running in August. Took a "break" for hernia surgery, and am back at it. I'm again up to 4-5 miles at a time. Since July, I've put in 75 miles running and another 200 walking. Yesterday ran 4 miles in under 40 minutes - never did that before.
There is a local 5k this Saturday and the weather is about to take the temp down to upper 20's at race time. I have zero experience running in the upper 20's and won't have a chance for a practive run at those temps. I don't expect to win any trophies, but want to do well and be "comfortable".
Any tips on what (not) to wear? How to warm up?
Thanks.
