Hello fellow runners!
It is winter time in my home country, so there are not a lot of races in this time of the year. It's skiing season :)
It will all begin in march. Most people will jump out of their homes, ready to begin after winter sleep. But in march there are already some tradiotional running races in Slovenia and if you weren't running during winter, you should not participate. But people ignore that, and injuries come in.
So yes, you should run during winter time!
For runners winter time is usually the most important time of the year ... and be honest, most hard as well ... cold, windy, fogy weather ... every excuse should work, just to avoid it ... but my coach always said: as you sow in winter so shall you reap in summer. And that is the point.
Running can be fun during winter as well. Don't forget your cap and gloves!
Your lungs won't freeze, it's a myth (only be aware, if you have some problemes and your doctor said stop). Don't do a lot of speed work, focus on endurance. Kilometers, kilometers, kilometers ...
Be in the spring few steps before others!
Let it be enough for today. I will be glad answering your quastions about #running, you can even suggest a topic and if I found it intresting, I will write about it!
have a nice day ;)
Peter
