Cold Weather Training

: Episode 761 – Listener Paul Boston joins Vinnie this Saturday to discuss finding this podcast, his journey, and cold weather training.

Firstly, exercise is a poor way to lose weight
If you want to lose weight while exercising, though, Zone 2 is the way to go
Also the best way to train in cold weather
- Not too little, not too much
A comfortable cold is around 20ºF for Paul
Layers are key!
- However, want to make sure you don’t have too much on
  - Want to start a little cold because you will warm up
  - If you get too hot, you will sweat too much and that will end up making you colder
Paul will wear compression tights and shirt underneath his fabric clothes
Jacket depends on wind
His winter running coat has a windshield in the front which is crucial
Gloves incredibly important
- Vinnie and Paul both use his cross country ski gloves
  - Wind-stopper technology
Hat covering ears and mouth is helpful
On his feet, he wears spiked trail shoes for traction on ice and snow
- Built-in carbon tip spikes
Vinnie had spiked tires for his early morning mountain winter bike training
Make sure to drink enough water during cold weather training
