Running In Cold Weather Is Challenging
TRAINING TIP: It is that time of the year when many runners have to deal with cold weather. The tendency is to put on too many layers of clothes.

Outside is always the best. Much better than doing your run on a treadmill. However, there are times that the treadmill is the best option. (12/17/2017) ⚡AMP
