-2 degrees celcius. Icy roads. clear blue sky ...spotless... absolutely galvanising! the cold is first like a brick wall..literally surrounding the muscles and blocking every movement. warming up is an effort , it requires will and consistence ... stretch...pull...keep breathing ...
and then there is the sky...the light...the virgourous breathe that reminds you that you are alive...
it s just the few first steps that cost ... those are the hardest ones... start the engine ... once it is on...it just gets easier and easier ...
my personal experience of the weather conditions makes it a difficult start but a statistically better environment for PB over my usual tour. take a warm /hot weather , the sweat and the humidity create a growing smog around the body that tends to end in a streneous run ...whereas in the cold, the body comforts itself as the physical strain of running also frees energy to warm up the muscles and hence comes to a sort of "economical" point where more effort is put into the run...
Result ...still the same tour of 13+km but 1min less ... and an ever more motivating panorama with just the infinity of the sky as a hat....i thought for a moment my head was flying in space....
