Cold Weather Running Advice + Fitbit Alta Giveaway

I shared 3 Tips for Winter Running back in November, right when the cold days were getting started. Winter is still going strong, and this happens to be one of the coldest weeks Chicago has had this season - wind chills will be close to zero or below for most of the day today. I can't think of a better time to share a roundup of Cold Weather Running Advice from healthy fitness and running bloggers. I also have an exciting giveaway to share today for a Fitbit Alta to celebrate American Heart Month. Enter via Rafflecopter at the end of this post. This giveaway is open until February 28.


One of the goals of American Heart Month is to encourage people to add physical activity to their daily routine. I definitely need extra motivation to stay active and keep running until spring! A few weeks ago I shared my Fitbit review from my first month wearing a fitness tracker, and now I have a roundup of winter running advice from a few bloggers to share that will help you finish out the end of the winter season.

Kaila @ Healthy Helper:

Slow your pace down! It's not worth it to run your normal speed and risk hurting yourself trying to trudge through snow or potentially slipping on ice. Lose the ego and run smart!

Lauren @ Breathe Deeply and Smile:

Be sure to stay hydrated. In the cold weather you may feel less thirsty, but that doesn't mean you don't need to drink water! 

Onto the giveaway! I teamed up with a group of my favorite fitness bloggers to offer this amazing giveaway for American Heart Month. Entries are open until February 28. One winner will receive a Fitbit Alta! Enter via the Rafflecopter link below.
