My biggest fitness adversary at this time of year is winter illnesses. Getting cold/flu, just about recovering from it, and then getting another bug massively hits my consistency, and my sleeping pattern. I find at this time of year overall fatigue is so much higher and recovery is so much harder.
Hate the wind also, but cold is the biggest challenge where I live. Sometimes it gets so cold that breathing becomes difficult. I Have to wear a scarf or some kind of cloth in front of my mouth so that the cold air wont hurt my throat/lungs. So january-february is only easy runs for me if I want to run outside.
Hi Fergus, great content as always. I live (and run) in sunny barcelona so when it's raining (no snow here) i absolutely love getting outside and getting wet!!!
really useful video. i had what i call an "adventure" last weekend when i was on a long run during storm bert in the moorlands around where i live.. safety as you say is paramount but if i am honest i did enjoy battling the elements 🙂
I love winter adventures, don't have any friends to have them with though xD I wish Britain was consistently icy/snowy enough to use traction tools on the road. Normally it's just black patches of death then bare tarmac. Need to do some more trailrunning, I've been tempted to put my trail shoes in my race vest, carry them to the nearby trails and then swap as needed.
With over 45 years of running experience out in the mountains and weather elements carry a pair of skiing goggles with you when out in the hills can come in handy especially when in a whiteout and hailstones 👍
Absolutely, I've just moved house so couldn't find mine - and this was the forecast for the following day so got a little caught out, hence turning around for safety's sake rather than hitting the full loop!
@ferguscrawley95 very sensible Fergus, sometimes you have to make the right decision at the right time. Enjoy your channel and content to, as a aging athlete I have adopted the Hybrid athlete approach to training now especially carrying a injury myself at the moment to.
Here I am out for two weeks with an upper respiratory infection after a sub 40F training ride. But that's Texas weather. It was 70 the day before. Texas says "LOL CLIMATIZATION WHAT?!"
Would love for you to do a video on the gear and brands you've tried over the years as I keep going through pairs of shorts every 6 month due to them tearing at the crotch

Running and cold doesn't bother me , biggest challenge I find is the wind. Absolutely hate it 😂
Same i quite like going out when it's cold out. The wind though? Its the worst. 😂
This day confirms that for me too haha - the wind was INSANE

Your advice is so sensible and relatable

Was up at the Pentlands this last week. Wind was no joke. Am signing up for the wintering Thursday as well so looking forward to it
