It may be frigid outside, but that doesn't mean you can't start thinking about a nice summer run in August! Register now for the 2014 BMO Harris Bank Madison Mini-Marathon & 5K and start your training today!

We know you runners don't stop training, even during the brutal winter, so here's some training tips from Coach Jenny Hadfield to keep you going!

1. Run with a Buddy- Nothing's more motivating than a running buddy pushing you along during these winter months.
2. Dress for 15 to 20 Degrees Warmer- Yes, it's still cold outside, but your body temperature will increase and could overheat if you're too bundled up.  
3. Stay Low- Shorten your running stride and keep your feet low to the ground in order to reduce your risk of falling victim to the elements.
4. Start into the Wind- No one wants to get the chills on their way home from an awesome run, so avoid making it easy on yourself right out of the starting gate and run into the wind to begin with.
5. Run During the Light Times of the Day- Not only will you stay warmer during your run, but you'll also reap the benefits of getting some much needed sunshine during the dark winter months.

Don't forget to order your In Training shirt and train in style!
