Is thereadifference inyourworkoutduring thisextremecold?
Mindy Fleming:
Running in extreme temperatures takes a lot of energy out
of you. You’re finewhen you’re out there generating heat. It’swhen you stop
that the cold immediately hits you.
Matt Leduc:
It does take a lot of energy but also when you’re wearing that
much clothing, it’s impossible to put inmuch of a workout.
Mindy:
You’re restricted by all the layers of clothing. You can’t get the same
movement as you would in shorts and a singlet.
Matt:
Forme thebiggest impediment is beingweigheddownby three layers
of pants, and big heavy shoes.
Mindy:
In really badweather, we put screws in the bottoms of our shoes so
we have full traction on the ice and in the snow.
