]]>While running in the snow, you’re at a greater risk for slipping than on dry surfaces. Before heading out for a run, check the tread on your shoes and make sure they’re not worn out.
Wear wool socks, a scarf, hat, and gloves to keep the heat contained within your body. You don’t want to overdo it by wearing too many layers because as you run, your body will warm up and you’ll sweat which will make your clothes wet, and that can put you at risk for hypothermia.
In the cold, your muscles will take longer to warm up, so make extra time for your warm-up.
Try and stay on high terrain and avoid low spots where water tends to pool and can turn into ice.
After you’re finished running, you need to warm your body up as soon as possible. Change out of your running gear and sip on a hot beverage to warm up.
