Three tips for winter running...

I would like to share with you three tips on running in winter.

1. There is a saying that goes "train in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter." But that is for professional athletes and has little to do with ordinary runners. We ordinary people should follow the principle of "spring growth, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage." Of course, this does not mean not to exercise, but to reduce the time and intensity of exercise, and at the same time get enough sleep and supplement enough nutrition.

Some people may ask, will this affect their running results? Maybe, but what use are the results to us? We still need to "stay true to our original aspirations and put health first" and not be led astray by the so-called running masters.

2. As mentioned before, "the essence of running is physical damage, and through super recovery, resistance and immunity can be improved." However, within 3-24 hours after running (the time varies depending on the intensity of exercise), there will be a "window period" when immunity decreases, and it is easier to get sick at this time, so after running, you must immediately pay attention to keeping warm (if you sweat, it is recommended to wipe your body dry immediately) and supplement with various nutrients.

3. Pay attention to the details of keeping warm. We all know that running in winter requires three pieces of clothing: close-fitting quick-drying and sweat-wicking clothing, a middle layer for warmth, and a windproof jacket. But one thing don’t miss: a hat, especially for those of us with less and less hair, we must protect our heads when running.

Keep the intensity of exercise low, and it is best not to sweat or sweat slightly. If you are running outdoors, it is recommended to stretch and adjust indoors immediately after running.

To sum up, we should "respect nature" and "obey nature", but never "challenge nature".
