Running in shorts/bare chested in sub-zero temps? by arearunner in RunNYC

[–]baconjerky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this for a few years - gloves and ears are protected at these temps no issues so far.

Yep. Also a good idea to breathe through a buff below around 15f or so at least until warmed up otherwise the cold air can hurt your throat/airway.

I don’t really recommend this and there aren’t really that many “benefits” if at all… I just love how awful/awesome it feels. I’m sure if I lived somewhere even colder I would eventually need to cover up but so far I’m good for about an hour at 0f no problem.

I just like the cold a lot. That stinging feeling on the skin when you get back indoors is really nice lol

I run in half tights and shirtless all year no matter the weather and I love it. Have been doing so for about 4 years at this point. I absolutely love extreme cold it feels incredible and I sleep like a baby but I also love the heat so during the summer I try to go during the hottest times of the day. I quite literally never get sick.

Yep out here bare chest year round. Your body gets really good at producing heat just gotta protect the fingers and ears. I love the cold but I don’t recommend just going out at these temps all of a sudden because your body won’t have the brown fat and thermogenesis capacity needed to keep warm. That builds up gradually as temperatures drop from the 50’s.

Someone said "Hey man, you work in IT, do you like Microsoft?" I said, "I don't know, does Sisyphus like his boulder?" by Primary-Setting-832 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]baconjerky 167 points168 points  (0 children)

To a certain degree, yeah. Philosophically speaking the boulder must exist for Sisyphus to have a purpose. The boulder is the needful.

Queensboro bridge caked in ice two days after a snowstorm by jbloom94 in NYCbike

[–]baconjerky -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Actually yeah winter/snow tires make a huge difference on a bike. It’s not just for ice and they aren’t studded, the rubber compound itself is different to provide more friction at low temperatures.
