Summary
What should I wear? Is it every too cold to run? Do I need to hydrate? What about warming up?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, hurdlers, Emily Abadi here bringing you another installment of Hurtle moment from Hurtle. |
| 0:19.7 | Today, I am chatting all about the tips |
| 0:22.6 | and tricks you need to run through the cold. Cold weather running tips. And to do it justice, |
| 0:29.3 | I brought in reinforcements. Her name, Emma Abrahamson. If you've never heard of Emma before, |
| 0:35.9 | she's an absolute delight. She's a running coach and |
| 0:38.5 | YouTuber based out of Portland. She also ran track at the University of Oregon. We talk about |
| 0:44.6 | this in today's episode, but Emma has an unbelievable 439 mile PR. Super casual. Anyway, |
| 0:52.4 | we talk about it all the day from dressing smart in the winter to if |
| 0:56.2 | it's ever too cold to get out there and run. Other tips and tricks you need to execute in a safe |
| 1:02.3 | way to stave off injury and to enjoy yourself. Now, one thing we neglected to chat about that I do |
| 1:07.8 | want to bring into the fold here in this intro is the importance of a |
| 1:11.0 | warm up, especially in the winter. Of course, warming up is critical all year round to save off |

| 1:26.9 | your body for what's about to go muscles. You're preparing your body for |
| 1:28.2 | what's about to go down. So keep that dynamic. Keep it fluid, meaning things like squats, lunges, |
| 1:35.1 | knee pulls, butt kicks, jumping jacks, stuff like that. And you can do all of this stuff |
| 1:40.0 | in only a few minutes inside the comfort and warmth of your own home before heading out there. |
| 1:45.5 | Again, taking the time to warm up, it takes a few minutes, but those few minutes can make a world of difference when it comes to staving off injury and keeping you on the run for longer, not just the day of, but of course, in the long term. |
| 2:00.0 | Before we get into the swing of things today, I do |
| 2:02.6 | want to take a moment and thank my sponsor at Element. You know, hydration is not just about |
| 2:08.6 | drinking enough water. To stay properly hydrated, you need to consume adequate electrolytes, and that's |
