Attempt at a personal record
Tomorrow morning in Milton it is going to be 6 degrees F – with windchill -7 degrees F. ( -22 degrees Celsius). I am going to attempt a 5K run to post my personal coldest run of my career. Previous record was nearly 12 degrees F warmer. (It has to be minimum 5K to qualify). I know this is nothing compared to what my friends in Chicago and New York are going thru. I am glad I am not having to run there!!
They say two layers of clothing in the 30s/40s and then an additional layer for every 10 degrees. By that calculation, I will be wearing five layers of clothes to run tomorrow. I think it will be less of running and more of waddling like penguins with outstretched arms π
Go Rajib! I would love to see a video of the penguin dash. π
Good luck!
You are dedicated!! I’d be more worried about my lungs and that cold air. Can’t put layers there. Lol Good luck and be careful!
Brave soul…!!! Go for it Rajib da π Good Luck!!
Be careful.
All the best!
Be well than sorry. Best of luck.
Protect your bare skin. Seriously!
Be careful of the frostbite specially on the face, nose and ears. My friend had posted this on FB today. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014/01/06/260162666/frostbite-tips-for-novices-skip-whiskey-and-shed-your-rings. Good luck.
Bundle up and run
Good luck, I chickened out at 28 this evening.
Socks, layer your socks!
My walk from the car garage to the office was brutal in 20’s so being a calculating man that you are; please weight the pros and cons of your run, waddling etc…..this is one time I would say it’s the thought that counts…cheers
Save your baldie too!
All the best
Good luck. My advise would be treadmill.
Bangalore is 10 deg C in the morning and I am warned against going out for a run due to the “cold” π
Take care of your health.
U r crazy
Once you start sweating, I think you could be uncomfortable in that many layers of clothes. I used to dare to run in extreme cold but never more than a mile. There is something magical about running in extreme cold but its also risky. Take a partner with you and watch for icy patches on road and have someone on standby in case you need help or a ride.
Bojho!
