Start Cool Layering Principle
The start cool layering principle begins winter workouts slightly underdressed so sweat does not soak layers before the main training block.
The start cool layering principle means beginning outdoor sessions slightly chilly—shedding a mid-layer within ten minutes—so sweat does not saturate base layers before the main set. Overdressing is the common winter mistake on climbs and tempo blocks.
Keep gloves and a hat accessible for sudden wind or stops.
Common questions
