This year is my first time running regularly, but as the autumn is approaching (and consequently winter, about which I am more concerned about), I would like to know a little more about healthy practices of workout.

First of all, my workout does not consist of only running. After running (usually about ~6 km), I come home and do about 2 x 50 push-ups, then about 2 x 40 and some stretching (about, as I am slowly increasing the amount of repetitions in series). During summer, this poses no problem, because I will eventually cool down. (I do this 2-3 times a week)

But in autumn / winter, what should I do?

  1. Run -> Push ups -> Shower
  2. Push ups -> Run -> Shower
  3. Run -> Shower (and just do the push ups other day)

In winter, the temperature can drop to about -15 Celsius, but that's extreme in my city, usually the average temperature is about -3 Celsius in January

EDIT: I usually finish my running cycle near my flat, so being exposed to cold and not running isn't an issue.

Don't worry yourself with details such as this. Whichever order you feel like doing them in, is fine.

It's going to make no difference at all.

  • In this answer Arthlete says, that stabilising your temperature after running in cold is recommended, but if I take my usual course of action, do I stabilise it by exercising at home? – Jakub Jankowski Sep 01 '16 at 15:31
  • -3C is not that cold. Once you get moving, you might even prefer it to your normal temperature. -15C however is cold and make sure you stay dry. Damp clothing will drastically lower your body temperature. – Yousend Sep 01 '16 at 15:55
