There is no such thing as bad weather, only weak people. — Bill Bowerman
Winter running is not something that should be dreaded or avoided. In fact, some of the most memorable runs you will ever have may be on a snow-covered trail running past icy streams and snow-covered lakes. Winter running can be as serene and pure as running ever gets. But winter running can also present a host of issues for the uninformed, uninitiated or the stubborn.
Currently, with those of us on the east coast of the United States braving Round 2 of Snowmageddon and our friends on the west coast doing their best to stay dry in the cold winter rains, we felt this was a perfect time to host an open forum on the topic of cold weather running.
Tonight, Wednesday, February 10th at 6PM EST, join expert runners Josh “Speedysasquatch” Maio, Justin “Mango” Manganaro, and Bill “I’ll try anything once” Risch as we discuss everything you’d want to know about how to safely enjoy running through the most beautiful season of the year. Join us at The Runner Round Table.
You can participate live by calling (724) 444-7444, Code: 34812, or by joining us in the chat room at TalkShoe where you can ask questions of the hosts and chat with other participants.
We plan on covering a variety of topics beyond what you’d ordinarily expect, including:
- How to avoid freezing your face off
- Protecting your peas and carrot – or frozen penis syndrome
- When to give in to the dreadmill
- Running on ice and snow
- Playing nice with cars and trucks that can’t see you and can’t stop
- Building a temperature-sensitive running wardrobe
- Frozen lungs
- Lederhosen and tassel hats
- Winter trail etiquette
- Handling conditions that are cold, wet, windy, dark or all of the above
- and more…
And if you want to feel confident in your hosts’ ability to speak on this subject, here is some early footage of SpeedySasquatch and Mangorunner as children proving once again that a Sasquatch can make a Mango cry.
See you all at The Table. We’ll leave you with this wise advice from the Suburban Lawns:
All action is reaction
Expansion
Contraction
Man the manipulator
Underwater
Does it matter
Antimatter
Nuclear reactor
Boom boom boom boom
I guess everything’s irrelative
I’m a janitor
Oh my genitals
I’m a janitor
Oh my genitals
Oh my genitals
I’m a janitor
