About running in cold weather and choosing shoes

The theme, which now excites so many, as winter came and it became much more difficult to run. Experienced runners this issue is not particularly bother, since they are not behind a running winter. I also found this question dumb surprise. Of course, the first thing I was advised - this is the correct underwear and shoes with non-slip soles. Standard "cap, windbreaker, gloves," - it was good. But it is better to follow the advice of the professionals who were running and the heat, and at a temperature of -30.

By the winter theme has decided to add a theme sneaker of choice. Arthur Lydiard in some detail tells about all the intricacies and how to choose the right running shoes. Of course, he does not name specific manufacturers. Therefore, you can choose your favorite brand of sneakers, based on the above criteria.

So I decided to see what this bill advises Arthur Lydiard. And I looked knowingly :)

Clothes for running in cold weather

"At temperatures below -20 need to wear two suits, just like we did when I was working in Finland. One - of a material permeable air; other - upper - of material which does not pass air. This prevents cold air to penetrate the inside and forms a cushion of hot air between the upper and suit his own body. After dressing can thus be run at a temperature of -40 for two hours or more without any unpleasant consequences. "

Choosing shoes

"Running is probably the most important piece of equipment, therefore, require careful attitude toward them. Selecting them, it is necessary to put on both shoes, stand, walk, paying attention, no pressure there in any place, because later in this place, you may have an injury. They do not need to rub the heel in the Achilles tendon area, not press should not be around the ankle and the toes rest on the toe shoes, otherwise, as soon as the running, the foot is slightly tipped forward and this will lead to a depressor nail on the big fingers. Thumbs should not toed shoes, but if the shoes are too big in size, ankle joint moves in the narrowest portion of the shoe, and it will lead to abrasions on the rear of the foot in movement.

Soles of shoes should be of elastic rubber and prevent you from hitting the hard surface during workouts. If sneakers sole thickness is not increased to the heel, then they can not train on the back roads. Need rubber pad under the heel to take the shake when you're running down the hill. This is an important part of running shoes designed for training. In some models, the heel as it is beveled to facilitate weight, but such a model for the above training is not necessary, because they do not insure a runner out of trouble.

Shoes with synthetic soles corrugated ideal for running through the grass and cuttings, but on country roads and highways, they quickly wear out and grip is reduced. The more surface grip is better. Particularly difficult to run in grooved shoes with soles on wet roads, whereas the clutch is further reduced.

Lace-up shoes and spikes are much more important than is believed by many runners. This simple act of lacing may impede the free movement of the foot and even harm. In order to avoid the constrictions and excess pressure on the foot, lace up shoes do not have laces crisscrossing top and prodergivaya them along the tongue shoes. "

And yes, I'm still running. Not so often, though, as we would like, but still. Soon I will have a rather difficult choice - whether to continue my running in cold weather. But I will do only after a month.
