But told if I cover mouth/nose for first couple of miles I'd be ok & it does seem to work as wasn't chesty & coughing at all after. Don't know how cold today but definitely minus temp. Probably helped I ran super slow too

Fitz Jan 2013 2:30pm, 21 Jan 2013 328 posts	Quote Pin Fitz Did 9 miles in the snow yesterday. Temp was around 0c and I didn't consider it too cold to run, I just wrapped up well. But running on snow is knackering! I was suppposed to be doing 14 miles but cut it short as I was getting slower and slower. So, not too cold to run but too snowy.
