If you’re an avid runner — or are hitting the pavement for an occasional jog — the onset of winter shouldn’t force you to hang up your sneakers for the season.
Try these winter running safety tips from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society:
Warm up — your body will take a little longer to warm up, so begin with a fast-paced walk for at least five minutes before you start to run.
To help keep you warm, toss your clothes in the dryer for a few minutes before you put them on.
Run with a shorter stride in the winter to reduce the risk of slipping and falling. Also, stay away from icy patches or packed snow.
Dress in layers that you can peel off when you get too warm.
If it gets too cold, run on a treadmill indoors.
Don’t forget to drink plenty of fluids — before, during and after your run.
