RUNNING IN THE COLD WITH SHORTS...REALLY?

[accessndx]

Alright...

I'm going to be the one to say it finally:

Folks that wear summer clothing to run in the winter are total douche-nozzles. I mean comeon, WTF?!!? You're obviously TRYING to get attention. There's simply no reason for it unless you are on literally on fire....or a pack of wild dogs chased you out of your house before you got a chance to change into something appropriate.

Put on some friggin sweatpants. Or to even things out, wear an eskimo parka in July whilst running.

Jerkoffs....just total full-metal jerkoffs in ridiculous getups to run. Unbelievable. Where do these nimrods come from?

 

[wordsux]

I always run in shorts even in winter. My legs don't really get cold and it feels nice.

I can only hope to one day have the sort of free time where I can post angry internet rants about the clothing people wear while running in public.

I wear shorts outside all the time in the snow or cold if Im just doing stuff around the house.

I think the more you train yourself to resist the cold the less it bothers you, also a healthy body with good circulation should be less susceptible to the cold. I find it more essential to keep my upper body warm with a jacket or sweatshirt, legs not so much. But yeah running in nothing but shorts in the middle of a snow storm is pretty stupid.

Hah, when I briefly lived in Edmonton, there was a 70+ year old man that would run all year long wearing what looked like a small sheet tied Indian fashion into underwear. At the very least, he had the mental fortitude to run around in -30 nearly naked as a jaybird. I wonder if he's still alive...

Man - and woman - was not designed to be sedentary.

I would like to be able to run in the snow just wearing shorts.

But I'm more likely to just walk.

 

[Jericho Mile]

run in shorts year round...didn't know it was an issue. must be a non runner issue though...as I never hear other runners say shit. Has nothing to do with trying to be a tough guy...or getting attention

if you ran....you'd know this

 

[wordsux]

yea the breeze on the balls feel rather pleasant


if you wear sweats you get major swamp ass

Looks like you've at least got the time to rant about angry rants.

This thread reminds me a little of the reality altering that accompanies many surfers as they go out into the winter surf, where it is freaking COLD.

I asked about this at "Mavsurfer", the forum for Maverick's folks.

One guy told me, "just come on out, most of the guys out here smoke enough pot to kill an elephant."


What I'd be curious about the guys running with shorts in the snow - how many are WITH caffeine and how many WITHOUT caffeine.

I find caffeine & Cannabis are great accompaniments before exercising in any kind of cold.

I try to avoid caffeine

Caffeine can lead to:
•A fast heart rate
•Anxiety
•Depression
•Difficulty sleeping
•Nausea
•Restlessness
•Tremors
•Urinating more often
•Vomiting

Stopping caffeine suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms. These may include:
•Drowsiness
•Headaches
•Irritability
•Nausea
•Vomiting

There has been much research on the health effects of caffeine.
•Large amounts of caffeine may stop the absorption of calcium and cause lead to thinning bones (osteoporosis).
•Caffeine may lead to painful, lumpy breasts (fibrocystic disease).

 

[D. B. Doober]

caffeine is a poison like nicotine. Should both be illegal if cannabis is illegal.

Well, seems you have plenty of time to complain about what people write in forums in their free time...

I never wear shorts, have some issue with those. Not even to the gym. It's not very pleasant wearing trousers here during august, but I just can't get myself to wear them.. Something with issues of self esteem I guess - I think people look stupid in shorts.

 

[waveguide]

people who act different should be isolated and ostracised and smushed into little meat bullion cubes and stored away in that room at the end of raiders of the lost ark.

In Amerikka, you will run in sweatpants!!!!! Brainwashing complete, next subject.

I remember running in shorts in California in the summer time

I remember running in shorts in California in the summer time

But in the cold weather ?

I spent three years in Alaska and we went running every morning..

Mostly below zero in the winter, no shorts

Instead we wore an 80 lb rucksack and carried a gun.

We would sing Silly Riendeer Song..

You know Airborne marching songs No Shorts
