What's the coldest you have run in? (Page 3)

 -31 F air temp. Wind chill was prolly in the -40s or so.

For 10 degrees, if the sun was shining, and I'm going to run long...

Hat

Gloves

tights

socks

long sleeve shirt

jacket

It's going to be 17-20* tomorrow for my 9 miler, and 25-30* on Sunday for my 12 miler.

Is it worth it to get cold weather tights?  The couple pairs of tights I own aren't that warm ... or should I just throw on a pair of sweat pants over the tights?  I'm thinking, for Saturday's 9 miler: cold weather tights, warm socks, short sleeved tech, long sleeved tech, windbreaker, hat, gloves, gator.  For Sunday's 12 miler: same, minus the short sleeved tech and the gator.  Thoughts?

I ran once at -27C, but with the wind and everything is was almost -35C.

30 minutes was more than enough

-40 F

I am pretty sure that the coldest I have ever run in was thursday this week. I went for 30 min or so in a nice -30C(-22F) With the wind it was about -35F or so.

I cut a bit of the CD that day though, I assumed I was cooling faster

I knew you were crazy!

-11.4 degrees F (-24 degrees C).  This was when I lived in Germany (Munich) back in the 90's.  It was very cold but still good.  We were used to having really cold winters, so you get used to it :-)

You'd have thought that the marathon in Antarctica would have been colder, but it wasn't actually that bad :-)

Most of you are bat sh!$ crazy... -40, -35, 10 mile race in a blizzard?!?!!.  I ran 4 miles last night at it was about 0.  I never would have done that unless I was running with a group.   

I went to school in Maine, we had a football game in -10 with sleet.  I also was skiing once and they closed the mountain because it was -100 at the top.

Ran/skiied year round in northern WI and the upper penninsula of MI for years.  Lots and lots of runs/skiing/racing in sub-zero temps.  I would guess coldest run was around -35 F.  Coldest temperature I remember up there was -60 F, but I didn't run that night.

Now I live down south and wonder how I ever managed to deal with all that cold weather.  Either I got soft with age, or you just get used to the climate you're in.  Probably both, actually.

Depends on how you heat up. If you get hot easily, go lighter. I hate overheating..being a little less dressed does me better than too much clothes. I think you'd be fine with what you suggest. Zippered necks are awesome! And zippers to pull open on jackets are great too (vents under arms). Also, not sure if you'd want the windbreaker unless windy or unless its very breathable...maybe a fleece jacket?!?
