At what temp do you go short?

[Heather]

I'm looking to do a fun post on my Runners' Notes blog on GoErie.com.
Tell me...at what temperature do you wear shorts? Seems everyone has
different temperature threshold. At what point to do you reach for
shorts instead of tights?

Be sure to give me your name and about how many years you've been
running. (You can be anonymous or do first-name only if you wish..just
say so). Post here or email me at zipd...@aol.com.

Low 40's for either shorts or capris.

I wear shorts at 40 and above, sometimes even cooler if it is not windy. My upper body is all that gets chilly so i still will wear a lite running jacket over a high tech shirt and a hat and gloves when in the low 40`s. If it was for a race, shorts and a singlet at 40. I`ve been running everyday, at least 6miles a day since 1974. Rick A.

When I was in my 40's, anything above 40° was shorts weather. Now that I'm in my 50's, 50° or above seems to be the limit. We'll see what my 60's bring.

RICK! at least six miles a day ...every day since 1974???? That's a story, right there!

[Heather Cass]

Hey, Daniel...how long have you been running now?

[Heather Cass]

HI Dennis. How long have you been running now?

[Vieyra, Mike]

I am right with Greg on the age requiring tights in relation to age.

 

Actually, the correlation is more like your age plus 13 times 70% = the temp you will require tights.  Everybody is not the same but this will be close for most folks.

Heather,

I prefer 55-60 degrees before I start running in shorts 

I have been running on and off since age 10 so about 27 years.  Glad to be back on.

Hi Heather.

I've been running 7 years. The temps need to crack 50 before I go short.

Rob R -- Three years. To answer your question 45 degrees, assuming normal wind. I like to run right before or right at dawn, so it's usually pretty chilly or downright frigid in the winter. I'll run in anything over five degrees.

 

To answer your question -- the shorts come out at 45 degrees.

 

5-30 degrees -- Full winter gear -- warm running jacket, warm running pants, tights, full cover hat, gloves, mittens over gloves. Some of my favorite runs have some in the freezing cold.

30-35 degrees -- Full winter gear except shorts over tights instead of warm pants, gloves

35-45 degrees -- tights with t-shirt & shorts over them, gloves, baseball cap

45-55 degrees -- long-sleeve shirt & shorts -- no winter gear necessary!

55-65 degrees -- short sleeve shirt & shorts

over 65 -- tank top & shorts. Bring lots of water!!

Hi Heather,

It varies, but if it's sunny and not windy I'll wear shorts when it's
35. If its raining or windy, 45-50 is shorts weather.
I wore shorts at the Law Day race last week and it was 38 degrees at
race time.

Hi Heather,

I'll wear shorts at 35°F with no wind or rain otherwise 40°. Usually as long as I have a hat and gloves I'm good to go. I'll wear gloves up to 50°. I hate when my hands are cold.

I'm 47 and I've been running regularly now for 6 years and intermittently the previous 20+

Thanks,

Mike Lawrence
