Run Coaching and Training
Cold Weather Running
Hey everybody,
Just looking for general information about cold weather running. What kinds of changes are expected when running in cold weather, such as in heart rate or VO2 max?
I started a training block in the southern United States in the fall but then traveled to the midwest (near Chicago) where it is frigid right now. At first I noticed my heart rate seemed to have increased quite a bit for easy paced runs. I read that in the cold our blood vessels restrict causing an increase in HR- does anybody know if this is accurate?
Thanks for any and all info, and happy running!
-Ryan

Hi Ryan - from my experience as a runner and coach, I see HR a tad lower in cold temperatures. I usually factor in 5 beats lower or so with my athletes.
Are you still having elevated HR now that you have settled in? I wonder if your issue wasn't more of a shock to the body since you were not used to the cold?
