* '''Warm Up Inside'''. Often the first mile or so is the worst, as your body has not started to produce sufficent heat to offset the cold. Warming up for 10 minutes inside, by running up and down stairs, doing a jump rope, or using a treadmill. (Thanks to Melanie M for this tip)
* '''Start into the wind'''. If it's windy, start your run into the wind so that on the way back, you won't freeze due to sweating. (Thanks to Bobby A for this tip)
* '''Suck then blow'''. If you have a problem with the tube on your hydration bladder freezing up, blow air back down the tube each time you have finished drinking. The drink is unlikely to freeze in the bladder itself, but the tube is very hard to keep warm. Insulation around the tube helps a bit, but not enough. (Thanks to Ron Bowman for this tip)
