Anyone else enjoy WInter grinder training?

Awesome. All of my true 800 teammates in college were all grit. I mean, you have to be a training rat if you're running probably the 3rd hardest race in track and field. Keep it up, man. That kind of attitude will take you far in life.

same here. Fitness time. Running is more laid back. Workouts are just practically made up with litte pressure to perform.

Winter training is what puts hair on your chest. Just getting out the door when there’s snow on the ground or it’s in the single digits is enough of a achievement in itself.

I'm not into that stuff myself, but I don't judge

Also not sure how it helps with the 800m. Or why just winter?

Either way, hmu OP :) ;) ;p

I disagree. Running outside when it’s 30 degrees and sunny is infinitely more pleasant than 36, wind, and rain. But if that belief gets you out the door every morning, then more power to you.

That is also another awful winter condition occurs in parts of the midwest when it is above 30. Like this weekend in my town. High of 40 with rain in the forecast. Today the high was 8. Barf.

But it's not as good for you.
