As runners, you will catch us all complaining at some point about the weather and how it gets in the way of training. Freezing cold, snowstorms, and icy roads and trails are dreaded during the winter months, leaving us to suffer on the treadmill for most runs. We long for warmer days, which end up coming rather quickly. Most runners struggle to maintain their fast paces during the summer months. It may get discouraging but once you understand why this happens, you will learn to be okay with the undesirable run stats.
