Is running in the cold bad for you?
I want to run on a tread mill that is in my garage. The garage termperature is the temperature outside. Right now it's snowing so it is cold. If I were to run in this condition would breathing in the cold air make me sick? Would I increase the chances of catching a cold, flu, or bronchitis?

The common cold/flu etc are airbourne virusus you can't catch a cold because you run in the cold, run in the cold water of sprinklers in the summer etc, it has nothing to do with cold objects

I have asthma & when I even walk in the cold my chest tightens up and it's horrible to breathe. But i'm assuming if you don't have asthma, it still might be a little hard to breathe and it may increase the chances of a cold !

When you run in the cold,your blood vessels are constricted from the cold.Shoveling snow is about the same, some people can have a heart attach. I have heard that you can't catch a cold or flu from being outside in the cold, unless your immunity is already down, then you get it from the stress of being cold.
