Run in the winter and you will die, DIE I tell you (Read 334 times)

    Amputation?  Really?

     

    Get off my lawn, New York isn't even that bad for winter.

     

    I kind of miss runs like the 20-miler where I curled up in the bottom of a ditch until I warmed up enough to run it in.

        New York isn't even that bad for winter.

         

        Except for today.

         

        And what do you expect from those conservative tools at Fox?

        Not at it at all.

            Amputation?  Really?

             

             

            Do you even know anyone that got frostbite running?  I'm serious here, I do not know a single person that did.  Ice fishing, ice climbing, snowmobiling, downhill skiing, yes....  but not cross country skiing or running.

              Today is a once-in-a-blue-moon storm for sure.  But being from NY I think the author seemed to be afraid of more average weather.  And treadmills, for that matter.

               

              I don't expect a lot from ANY media outlet.   They are ALL tools, biased, which is why I read a broad cross section and apply some personal thought to it.  Smile

                Actual clinical frostbite resulting in enduring miscoloration of the affected extremity, no.  And I've lived in some cold, cold places.  Which was why the comment on amputation got me going.

                 

                The only thing I've heard people concerned about needing potential amputation from running had nothing to do with thicker gloves or boots...but wind briefs.

                    It says physiatrist.  Not that it gives her any more credibility in my book, based on what she wrote.

                      I for one had NO IDEA before reading this article that I could fall on my rear by running in the snow.  I think I'm going to quit.

                        Golly, guess I shouldn't have done those hill fartleks today at about 2F on snow with light snow coming down.

                         

                        Maybe somebody should warn the winter ultra racers - one race last weekend (100k, 200mi), another this weekend (50k, 100mi), and the long one the following weekend (350mi, 1000mi). Then the dogs the following weekend (iron dogs are this weekend).

                         

                        Over the years, I think there's been a couple toes or fingers (tips) lost in those races, although most have recovered.

                         

                        But, no, not running on the sidewalk in NYC.

                          It's totally true. I died once in 2011 and once in 2013 on long runs in the snow. I remember those runs well. I was totally slayed.

                            Actually the storm today wasn't that unusual.  The problem is that it comes on the heals of quite a few other storms (not as strong) and a couple of months of below average temperatures.  It has been a while since we have had a winter like this.  Maybe this lady reached her breaking point.

                            Not at it at all.

                              Yeah, we're inches away from the highest ever snowfall.  I kind of feel like we should just go for it.  But it kind of makes equating this winter to any other winter in the past 50 years irrelevant.
