Am excited to be escaping east coast 20-40F weather and going to be spending 2+ weeks starting in a couple days in 70-85F shorts running weather. I know people have their preferences of cooler or warmer ideal running temperatures, but between those two choices (and escaping 4:15pm sunsets), there’s really no question, right?
It depends on humidity and wind.
20 to 40 and windy is pretty horrible. You end up too cold at the start, but then feeling wet and gross at the end because you need to be bundled up to prevent frostbite.
On the other hand, 85 and humid is also horrible, especially if it is sunny.
But 70 to 85, breezy, and not too intense of sunlight is pretty nice and I'd probably take that over 20 to 40 and no breeze.
