Watching the video of Mo Farah made me think about reading about kenyans doing easy runs in tracksuits. Anyone tried this? I wore tracksuit bottoms on an easy run on Monday as it was really cold and after a few minutes I could hardly notice them! I'm contemplating doing this from now on, at least during the cold weather. The benefit of it is that with racing shorts and a vest on you feel flying.

I have run in tracksuit bottoms a couple of times and it's like you said, after a couple of minutes you don't even notice them... But unless it's VERY cold I won't wear them as I tend to get too hot.
I always wear tracksuit bottoms when running. Only a couple of times in the summer did I do parkrun in shorts.
I don't know why actually, because I never feel the cold on my legs, it's always the top half of my body that gets cold.
I think it stems from when I had to do a fitness test once for the prison service, it took place outside on probably the coldest February day in history at 9am. I wasn't told about the fitness test taking place that day until I got there, so had to borrow a pair of shorts that someone had in their sports bag, either that or do it in my suit trousers, looking back I wish I had done now!
Oh and I didn't get the job either!

In this weather I'd be tempted to wear tracksuit bottoms, a fleece or two, woolly hat, gloves and socks - and maybe a gym
It's not actually the cold that gets to me (unless the cold air triggers my asthma) but I am unable to run anywhere there is a chance of ice. I realised that lots of kids when I was at school would happily slide down polished ice on the pavements but even then I just didn't like the lack of grip on my feet. Now I can walk comfortably down the pavement then find some ice and start edging my way along, holding on to railings or window ledges for some support.
Snow isn't so bad as there is a decent grip and it doesn't hurt as much if you do hit the deck - a bit like running on the beach.

I got myself some tights for the cold weather but its been so cold I've had to wear my track suit bottoms as well:lol:
Did 7km this evening and the first 2km in a tracksuit (running home from uni).
When I went out again, with no trousers (but with shorts), I felt incredibly light!

I wear trackie bottoms in the winter and shorts in the summer.
I wear knee supports in the cold so I wear track suit bottoms
to keep my knees warm but in the summer I run in shorts.
all the best
