How do you run when there’s it’s 2° F (-16° C) outside and there’s ice on the ground?

I am a member of benefit program in my workplace which gives me free entrance to most of the gyms/fitness places. I use treadmill then.

I don’t run, I don’t enjoy it, But I do a HIIT workout which gives me a great cardio workout with 30 second intervals of mixed quick workings that can be done indoors in place without equipment. Running in place, knee high running in place, and speed running in place are a few of the little of the interval workouts. It keeps it more interesting for me and keeps you inside which I prefer based on weather.

I’m not a big runner. In college we ran for rowing when it was too icy to be on water. It required agility to avoid the icy patches. I wore a wool hat, smart wool socks (on both feet and hands) - and full length tights with a light sweat shirt. I tried to keep my feet dry... Now, I do the HIIT class when I can fit it in. It’s “high intensity interval training” The seconds App has it...

I usually run in the forrest nearby or on the beach when it’s that cold. The ground surface makes it easier to get a good grip

Go to a gym? There will always be an excuse not to do something or a reason why something is more difficult. Instead of looking at problems, try to find solutions. In addition, you don’t need someone else to answer this question for you. Apply yourself and I’m sure you can figure out a solution! Good luck :)

I think when it is cold outside you always lose motivation to go on or feel the need to quit. Your mind thinks and creates mo4e excuses to quit but let me tell you something every winner has felt like quitting. The only difference between a winner and a loser is the choice they make when this feeling comes. And if there is ice everywhere go to a place like a gym or a park where there is maybe a treadmill or grass or where there is no ice

When I was 16 years old and it it actually was -16 I went out and shoveled snow. I think I made a little over a dollar. How did I solve the cold problem? Simple, I now live in California.

You remember why you started. You realize that if you stop now, all that hard work, that routine, that habit that you’ve worked so hard to build up will be ruined. And you’re not a quitter. If it wasn’t hard, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Not really sure. But you must be careful. Try running inside or doing another exercise. If there is snow you can do cross country skiing. Dress warmly cover your mouth with light wrap and wear good tracking shoes. Is all I can think of.

With running shoes that carry spikes. It’s not at all uncommon here. The temperature is just a minor annoyance, make sure your warmed up and have your non-exercising body parts protected from the cold.
