There are lots of challenges living in Canada in winter. One of which is running in January when it’s icy, cold and very windy. Mega sub zero temperatures mean you have to dress for the extreme cold. I like to use Bodyglide® for my face since the wind can really make things uncomfortable. I also like to wear a liner-sock underneath thermal running socks as if you were cross-country skiing. If it’s really bad you need to think seriously about double gloves. And for the ultimate in traction I insert Ice Spikes® in a pair of running shoes I use specifically for icy conditions. Of course, it’s a good idea to slow down as well. Oh, the joys of winter.
