 1 |  Subject: cold weather runningI live in southern Ontario where it is not unusual for the temp to get into the minus 20 degree celcius area, especially overnight. With proper preparation and lots of layers, this never stops me from running, and if I dare say, I quite enjoy winter running, with one small exception. It seems that no matter how well I layer, my buns are always cold. From experience, I have figured out how many layers of what goes where to stay perfectly comfortable except for my butt. I am a slightly overweight 52 yr old male whose been tri-ing for 5 yrs or so, and continue to enjoy enjoy it immensely. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to keep my caboose a bit more comfy? Thanks for your thoughts John Edited by Johnrooyakkers 2016-01-16 8:22 AM |

Expert 1461    Sarnia, Ontario | Subject: RE: cold weather running Hey John I am in SW Ontario too. Normally its my extremities that freeze up first... toes and fingers. I have experienced the frost from behind that you mentioned and don't have the perfect solution. I simply add another layer. I've worn boxer briefs in addition to my base layer to shield my 6, also helps keep the copilot comfortable on those cold and windy runs. Winter running, the struggle is real but it beats the treadmill. Edited by jspelay 2016-01-16 10:02 AM |

Member 131 | Subject: RE: cold weather running I was just going to post something similar. Live in MN, run well into the 0 degree Fahrenheit. I wear multiple layers and head gear and usually everything is toasty warm except my stomach in my case. It will get bright red and hurt. I am not overweight (just 47 years old and have a "dad bod"). I do wear synthetics (no cotton) when layering. If I wear too many more layers, I am dripping in sweat. I wonder if this from sweating and the sweat evaporating/freezing? Same for you?

| 20 | Subject: RE: cold weather running I live in WI, currently -7? -26 with wind chills, so I am used to cold weather running (not crazy enough to go out today) However, if your running pants have back pockets you could put a pair of hand warmers in them. Or buy a pair of adhesive foot warmers and stick them right to your maximus. |

Veteran 276 | Subject: RE: cold weather running For me this is an always issue, not just a winter issue. I can be playing softball in the 100F+ heat during the summer time, come home to shower and both by stomach and my rear are downright chilly. I don't really feel it, but if I put my hands on either then they are quite cold to the touch. Very odd sensation, but like I said since I can't feel it when I'm running it hasn't caused me to think of using additional layers (over what I already do). |
