Part 1: Start here

This guide helps you keep running through hot summers and cold winters without dreading either. It covers how your body handles heat and cold, how to change your pace and your plans to match the weather, what to wear, what to drink, and how to make a simple weather rulebook so you never have to argue with yourself at the front door.

It is written for people who already run or walk-run a few times a week. If you are brand new, start with a beginner plan first and come back when you have a few weeks of regular running behind you.

Please read this first. This guide is general education, not medical advice. Check with your doctor before starting if you have a health condition, take regular medicine, are pregnant, or are recovering from illness or injury. Heart, blood pressure, asthma and some common medicines change how you handle heat and cold, so a quick conversation is worth it. Stop and see a doctor if you have chest pain or pressure, faintness, confusion, a racing heartbeat that does not settle, or breathing trouble that does not ease when you slow down.
