Motivation for winter
I love running and cycling outdoors, but this is first winter in Canada and I am thinking I'm going to have to head towards the gym...I need to keep motivation up and not sure what the advice is for running in extreme cold...prob don't!
Re: Motivation for winter
I've run in 10 degrees F, no problem if you tie a scarf around your face and dress appropriately. Sports underwear that leads humidity away from the body is a must.

Yeah thinking I might be ....
Went running this morning, had ear ache from the wind chill and really cold fingers. Got really hot after 15mins but then cooled down so fast after the run and it's only September. Off on bike 2moro, see how that goes.

Re: Motivation for winter
Do you know I totally forgot about day light..(silly me) thats the reason I love to be outside, I am orginally from the UK (Devon) and the cold etc wasn't a prob... Maybe I will try snowboarding and embrace the cold weather.

You mean you lived on these fair shores, then defected?

It's okay to come back now anyway, we've got a coalition Government, things will get better, I hope

Re: Motivation for winter
Needed a change, so applied for a visa a few years back, (not easy process mind) got it last year, so upsticks and went. When an opportunity comes your way you've got to take it..
Re: Motivation for winter
