Wynne Davis shares insights on staying motivated during cold-weather runs, especially in Washington, D.C. She seeks advice from Alison Mariella Desir, a running advocate, who emphasizes the importance of the right outfit. Dressing in layers protects against harsh weather, as the body feels significantly warmer once running. Desir and Dr. Kelechi Okoroha provide guidance on how to dress for different temperatures, highlighting that common mistakes include overdressing, which can lead to overheating. The right running shoes are also crucial for comfort and performance during cold runs.
"I love the cool air on my face. I love the feeling of being really badass because you're one of the only people out there," she says.
"The key to facing the cold...is your outfit. You need to dress for the weather, which means wearing clothing and layers that can protect you from the wind, rain or snow."
"Once you get moving, your body is going to feel about 15 to 20 degrees warmer than it actually is outside, according to the Mayo Clinic."
"A common mistake in dressing outdoors is dressing too warmly which can cause excessive heat generation."
