Temperature can be one of the largest variables that impacts a runner while he is running. We here it all the time during race, Oh its to hot" or "Oh its to cold". Temperature is often one the most discussed topics during a big race. For instance the heat was one of the most discussed topics during the Boston Marathon , not who won the race. With all this being said it begs the question ,"What is the Ideal Running Temperature?".
Most runners will tell you (depending on where they are from) that anywhere from 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit. I have to say that I agree with them. However when trying to find that sweet spot or ideal running temperature other factors have to be taken into account. Factors such wind, wind chill factor, humidity obviously all play a role into finding your ideal running temperature. Furthermore the intensity of your workout will play a role into all of this as well. For instance if your doing speed intervals on a track then paying attention to wind speed and wind direction will be useful. Whereas if your just doing a easy or a recovery run then the overall temperature and wind chill will be of more valuable information.
