WINTER RUNNING TIPS

The following winter running tips comes from

Active.com provided by Coach Jenny Hadfield

Set a Specific Goal: There is nothing more mo-

tivating than to train for a race or specific goal.

You can plan to run a 5K, half marathon or reach

a number of miles every month. You'll have in-

stant motivation in knowing you have to train for

the race or hit your target mileage. Reward your-

self when you reach your goals, then set another

one.

Run With a Buddy or Group: Make your

workouts safe and social. You'll have a built in

motivational source, a friend to chat with along

the way and it is safer to run in numbers. Run-

ning with others (or pets) is a great way to beat

the winter doldrums. If that's not enough motiva-

tion, reward yourself with a fun race destination

like Arizona, Florida or even Mexico.

Accessorize: Having the right apparel makes all

the difference in the world. Layering is the key

to avoiding over- or under-dressing. Consider

wearing a layer that blocks the wind; pants,

tights and top that wick the moisture away from

your skin; and, for the coldest days, a mid-layer

that fits more loosely—like fleece—that insu-

lates and moves the moisture from your base

layer away from your skin.

Your winter running wardrobe should include a

running jacket, hat or headband, gloves, tights

and a few long-sleeve shirts. Your body tem-

perature increases as you run, so you don't need

many layers in most winter conditions.

Dress for 15 to 20 Degrees Warmer: Over-

dressing is easy to do in winter running. Dress-

ing for 15 to 20 degrees warmer than it actually

is will allow your body temperature to increase

and reduce the risk of overheating and excessive

sweat. You should feel chilled when you walk

out the door. If you are toasty warm, remove a

layer. Less is more.

Run During Light and Warmer Times of Day: If possible, run during daylight hours so you can

absorb that needed sunshine we rarely get in the

winter. You'll get your miles in during the warm-

est time of day and come back with a smile on

your face.

Be Seen: If you run when it is dark out, wear a

reflective vest or flashing lights so you're seen by

traffic. In snowy weather, wear bright clothing.

Run with identification or a runner's I.D. in your

shoe or pocket—just in case.

Hit the Treadmill: When the weather gets bone-

chillingly cold and icy, hit the treadmill. Treadmill

running is a great way to stay fit and you'll get in

quality miles without risking an injury from slip-

ping on ice.

Stay Low: Shorten your running stride and keep

your feet lower to the ground. You will run more

efficiently and reduce the risk of slipping, falling

or straining muscles. Choose to run on fresh snow

rather than ice or packed snow. You will get better

traction on fresh snow and reduce the chance for

slipping. Watch out for snow-covered cracks and

holes in the road.

Take Extra Time To Warm Up: Your body will

warm up more slowly in cold weather, especially

if you run in the morning. Take at least five min-

utes to walk briskly before you start to run. It may

take 10 to 15 minutes of running before you are

completely warmed up and in your running tempo.

Take a hot shower to pre-warm your muscles or

put your clothes in the dryer on hot for a few min-

utes then head out for your run.

Hydrate: It is just as important to drink fluids in

your winter runs as it is in the summer. Make sure

to hydrate before, during and after your runs to

avoid dehydration. Use warm fluids in your water

bottle or tuck it under your jacket to avoid freez-

ing.

Start into the Wind: Start your run into the wind

so you have the wind at your back on your way

home. You'll avoid getting chilled by the wind af-

ter you've been sweating.

Keep it Fun: Mix up your route, run through the

neighborhood holiday lights or run a holiday race.

It will get you outside and enjoying winter rather

than cursing it.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I know we don't have snow

here , but...they are predicting a wet winter with

the powerful El Nino in the Pacific Ocean.

Race results from yesterday’s Half Marathon race for my son, Ben below.

He was part of an elite group in the second pack. The lead pack consisted of runners trying to break 65 min-

utes, the qualifying standard for the Olympics. Ben was only 3:24 behind this standard! He set a PR for him-

self in both the 10K (50 seconds faster) and the Half Marathon (3 minutes faster). His classmate and running

partner, Joey also did well. Larry Li

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14, 2015. TURKEY TROT. KETCHIKAN, ALASKA

Julie Campos - Found a Turkey Trot in Ketchikan Alaska 111415. Ran on hail

filled streets and serious hills. Temp at the start was 38 degrees. This race was sponsored

by Parks and Rec. Ironic, since we registered for the Turkey Trot in town.

This was not a timed event. The goal was to visit 4 agencies that were benefiting from the

registration fee or food donations. The route was 4.4 miles. Runners, walkers, and wob-

bles were each given a card that was to be stamped as proof that we has visited each

agency. Our last stop was at a homeless shelter where we were treated to post race good-

ies. The weather held off during the race. However, we got hailed on while making our way back to the Rec

Center. Finished in 47:10.
