The colder the weather, the less heat stress on the body, which makes it significantly easier to run. This means faster paces & further distances with less effort and better performance gains. The best race performances appear to happen around 40 degrees fahrenheit and for every 5 degree rise in temperature, performance decreases by 2.7 seconds per mile. Your body expends more energy attempting to raise your core temperature, which results in a higher calorie burn than the same workout indoors. Running outside helps prevent seasonal affective disorder, speeds up season adaptation and you’ll absorb much needed vitamin D which will boost your mood. Additionally there is the mental side of getting yourself out there when it’s uncomfortable so you’ll also improve mental toughness & discomfort.
