Tuesday #Workout:
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
20 minutes of strength training.
14.4 KM of #Running (showing drifting snow, -10°C, -21 windchill, 64% humidity, and 44 KM/H wind, gusting to 63 KM/H).

Good workouts, and then, wow. I didn't expect the temperature to drop so much in a short period of time, pushing the windchill below the #TeamShorts line, so I altered the route to try and shield myself. Wind, blowing snow, ice, made for a challenging zone 2 run (9.2%, 72.8%, 18.0%).

The last pic is just brilliant! Every runner knows this all too well: Starting to run, getting your feet wet within the first minute – and then some… Very well done, I do congratulate you on the first half marathon in almost a year. It‘s only one degree C around my place right now, but I only brought my short running pants. So, finally, there‘s a #teamshorts run coming up for me.
@ruthpozuelo @recollir To do this properly, I'd have to track what I was wearing for each run - other than my #TeamShorts tracking. I'd expect a -10°C run with just my windbreaker to use more energy to stay warm than hoodie+windbreaker. Would have to also factor the average HR on the run for effort, my weight (currently in decline), temperature, windchill, wind, calories, … I do have most of the data, and I suppose I could *guess* at what I was wearing (usually +1 layer each -10°C step down). 🤔

40 minutes of running in the sun. Weekly totals are improving along with the weather. I count my blessings.
14°C today, I should have joined #TeamShorts

#music First random track: '54-46 Was my Number' from Toots and The Maytals.
Enjoy your running.

5 C!!! That‘s quite a swing in temperature! I saw one of your last postings with something like -11 C. We‘ve reached the 10-17 C range this last week, and it was awesome: Yesterday was my first run in this year without a jacket. And I *could have* opted for #TeamShorts but wasn’t sure how warm/cold I would feel in the shadowy parts of the run, so I kept the long pants on. And the splish-splash is already over here. Have a great time!

@WTL spotted in the wilds! #teamshorts
@mikerspencer Aha, I've found another member of #teamshorts in the snow
Also worth noting the temperature dropped 2°C/4°windchill while I was out, which I really felt on the long, slow uphill heading back. #TeamShorts #Running
