Winter running is the best way to lose winter weight. But before heading out, make sure you have a solid plan. You don’t want to come across accident along the way. 1.
Wear the Right Shoes
The right shoes will depend on the road. You should wear shoes that are made for the kind of surface you run on. For example, if you are running on slippery surfaces, you want shoes with great friction(摩擦力). 2. When trying out a pair of running shoes, check the fit, feel and ride of the shoes. These elements(要素)are important once you take your new shoes out for a run.
Warm Up
Warm-up is an important part to keep fit. Especially if temperatures drop and your muscles are stiff(僵硬的) from the cold! 3. It also prepares the muscles for the intense (激烈的) activity ahead. The cold climate won’t feel as cold when you do warm ups. This is because blood flows much faster after a good warm up!
Deal with Wind
4. The key is to run into the wind and finish by running against it . This keeps icy wind from blasting(用力撞击) your face. To prevent any injuries or accidents, break your run into small parts. 5.You can use certain creams on the nose and cheeks to prevent frostbite(冻疮).Don’t skip your sun-block if you’re running during the day. UVB(紫外线) passes through the clouds. Running for an extended period on a cloudy day will still damage the skin!
