When is it warm enough to run outside in spring?

Question

Accepted Answer

Most runners are comfortable at 40F and above. Dress in layers you can remove as you warm up. Below 40F, add a wind-resistant outer layer. The ideal spring running temperature is 45-55F — cool enough to prevent overheating but warm enough for comfortable breathing. Start your transition in early March and adjust layers as temps rise.
