If building up a winter running routine is one of your goals this year, starting with a positive feedback loop can help, writes outdoors columnist Alli Harvey:
A man runs with a dog along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail in Anchorage on Thursday, Dec. 23, 2021.
The nice thing about this trick is it compounds on itself. Running feels good at 5 minutes; stop. Running feels good until ten minutes, quick — stop. Before long, running feels good through 30, 45 minutes, and then, incredibly, an hour. That full hour of running is a big milestone. How does your breath come in? If your lungs get cold easily, like mine, consider a balaclava to cover your mouth. Uncomfortable? Yea, a little. But not as uncomfortable as aching lungs for the rest of the day. Again, this goes back to creating positive feedback loops. If I associate running with enduring pain afterwards, it’s yet another mental hurdle to clear prior to actually getting myself out the door.
I lay my headlamp out by my shoes at the door. My fleece pants are right where I need them. Socks, check. Buff and balaclava? Yup.
