Video: How a Canadian Dresses for Winter Running
November 28, 2006 | Tags: cold • winter-running
This video shows what I wear for running in the Canadian cold. How cold? Really cold but you’ll have to watch to find out just how cold. What you should know about this video is that, with what you see me wearing, I am warm while running.
With the right gear, you too can run in the cold. So get geared up and enjoy running in the winter.

[…] I did a little video up for CRN. Go take a look. tags:cold cold weather […]
that was freaking hysterical! i would do a dressing for Texas weather run, but it would be boring.
Duuude! Captain Underpants goes running in the cold.
You’re an animal but a darned fit one.
Thanks for sharing!
Mark,
You brought laughter to an otherwise gloomy, depressing day. That was, by far, one of the funniest things I have seen in a while (maybe that just means I don’t get out enough)!
Don’t they have treadmills in Canada, eh?
I loved the glimpse into your family life also - made me want to run home and play with my boys!
Thanks for sharing (I could have done without the butt shot however).

i’m comin’ over for meatloaf.
great video, mark. i know i got more out of that than just reading about the gear. thanks!
You are so hard core.
holy crap.
I am so not hard core.
Love that you’r including video. LOVE it!
And I thought it was chilly here when it dipped to 45 the other night!
Oh, it couldn’t have been that cold, or you wouldn’t have waited for most of a minute to shut the door…heheh.
Well, Maine has had beautiful weather so far this winter. We haven’t been hit yet by the cold, but we’ve had a few glimpses that it is coming.
You are brave to run in it and even braver to do a nearly complete strip for the CRN gang. Actually that was better then some of the male strip acts I’ve watched.
However, sorry to disappoint my own fans, I will stick with my list, now way in heck I’m doing a video…lol.
Mark, this is awesome…thanks!
When I published my spreadsheet here on CRN a few weeks ago, I thought that was pretty extreme. But, I guess not!
Interestingly, we have virtually the same approach to running in really cold weather…same types of layers and levels. You just look better and have a better cat!
And thanks to Lori for being such a great camera operator!
“hold on, daddy’s talking?” what a loada bovine fecal matter! daddy’s not talking; DADDY’S STRIPPIN FOR MAMMA!!!!… and the internet! you’re soooo paris hilton meets britney meets wayne gretzky meets showgirls meets mystery science theatre 3000! my hero…
i’m not having quite the same daily experience here in the subtropics and my husband never greets me with a camera and i certainly never strip off the sweaty gear for it.
that was so enjoyable. the commentary was great. and i’m sure soozan could find a way to make stripping after a run in texas very enjoyable. she’s just chicken!
such a tease… why stop there?
So the fact that I’ve been hybernating here in Seattle because we got an inch of snow and it’s in the 20’s (F) makes you think less of me, doesn’t it? Go ahead, say it… I can take it.
oh my god. I thought i was going to swoon when you took off your shorts. did you REALLY just show off your underwear? you ARE fearless!
[…] Now I’m of course a measly a beginner, but even if I was seasoned, would I be able to run in 25C? This guy lives in Canada, and he does!… Now watch him -strip explain his clothes in front of the camera. […]
[…] -25 Grad Celsius wären für mich allerdings ein Grund einfach grundsätzlich nicht vor die Tür zu gehen, geschweige denn draussen rum zu rennen. Dieser Kanadier sieht das etwas anders und erklärt in einem Video ausführlich was er alles anzieht um draussen nicht zu erfrieren. Unter anderem füllt er heisses Wasser in seine Flasche und wenn er heim kommt ist es fast gefroren… […]
[…] you will be visiting several different parts of the world, it’s important to dress in layers. And I hate to say this Santa, but wool outerwear stopped being cool many years ago. You would be […]
[…] Do dress properly for the weather (see Mark’s excellent and hilarious video on dressing for an Alberta winter). […]
