Cold Showers and Running | What You NEED to Know 

It really makes sense for runners. World class runners have been soaking in ice water for years for recovery from races & hard workouts. It helps reduce inflammation & soreness. But now that I know of the other benefits mentioned in this video I will start doing this myself.

I had been doing cold showers for a few months but went on vacation and fell of the wagon. This video just convinced me to go back to doing it. I’m ready for the challenge 👍

I love cold showers. I started about three weeks ago and have never looked back. An added benefit is the cold weather seems less cold now. It really has been a pick me up. I find myself running longer, doing more, and feeling less fatigued during the day.

Helped me when I was in high school and the Marines. I finish my showers with cold water now. I’ve been swimming with my son and feel better. Thank you.

My happiest and best self involved a lot of self-care that felt easy at the time (and feels difficult now)! One of the things I did when I felt my greatest? I took a lightly warm shower and ended it on cold for about a minute. I believe the benefits of this looking back at the clues of what made me click.

Brrr… cold showers in the middle of a Southland winter 🥶 but I’ll give it a go. Looking forward to the challenge!

Been taking now every day for two months.. now I’m looking forward to it feels great!! For all you older guys I’m 67 with Afib and no worse for wear. Knock wood. Lol . Still maybe consult with your physician..

Such awesome information!!

I do this occasionally after a hot run or ride and it feels excelerating.

Recently, I've been running somewhere between 4-5 miles then jumped in freezing cold lake for a swim afterwards (right now it is about 35-38F degrees). I have always been scared of cold but the experience was phenomenal. I didn't feel cold at all after my body is so warmed up. And when I got out of the water, I feel more alive than ever before. It's a new addiction now. Run in freezing temperatures and then go for a polar bear plunge! What a way to end a workout.

I love cold showers and been using it often. Not consistent though. I have a question about ice cold baths. Could I start with feet in a bucket with ice to get use to the feel? What are the benefits of doing ice to the feet?

Just started cold showers today preparing for track and swim team but the swim team pool is colder than my shower and I do swim 1 hour 30 mins for 5 days every week

Calm alertness

Thank you for the information. You really explain the sciences and the benefits of cold showers clearly. Most people shower everyday. I generally work out 4 days per week. I understand doing the cold shower after the workout. Can the 3 off days be a normal, nice hot water shower?? Got be honest, the hot water shower feels really nice...

Thank you for sharing all this. I have a few questions, hope you can help me by answering some. Would you recommend a cold shower in the morning to start the day or straight after a run to cool the body down? Is it effective if I just expose my head at the end of a hot shower or it needs to be the whole body? And how would you deal with not getting a cold in winter days? Wouldn't I ruin the effect if I use a hair dryer straight after? Thanks!

Tor Eckman that holistic healer on Seinfeld was right cold showers is better! 😆

Hello! I've been watching many videos on cold exposure but can't seem to figure out what the best time to do it is. Would you recommend to do it before or after workout? If after, how many minutes after? (We have a folk illness here in my country called pasma and you supposedly get it when you expose your body to cold water or just water after intensive chores or physical activities such as a workout. I really would like to try this but that's one thing that's holding me back. All these years, I've only ever done room temp or warm water shower after workout.) Thank you in advance for your response.

I’ve just ordered a cold tub I know that you recommend a dip in the morning Would you do this on a race day as well plus a dip after racing ???

Everyone talks about the cold showers, but what temperature is considered cold? Is it what just feels cold to you or is it as cold as your water gets?

Thank you for sharing knowledge, i have questions am using colds shower 2 reduce stress but after cold shower i feel increas of strees in my body .. Secondly: is it good to tacke cold shower befor sleep

So cold showers are bad after weights but good after runs? Also if I take a cold shower after a HIIT running workout will I be benefit from it or the opposite? Thanks for the video.

Cold shower after a workout at the gym?

Yep that’s awesome but after running 3 hours long run in the cold rain I don’t care what the Science is I’m going to have a warm as shower haha 😂

I like to cold plunge first thing when I wake up and go for a run 15 minutes later. Am I being counter productive by not doing it the other way around?

I was talking a cold showers everyday in past 12 months.I really enjoyed them but recently I got chilblains on my big toe..Any suggestion how to avoid them in the future????

I work in and out of a large walk in freezer. Does that help as well, or only being in cold water?

A few years ago I took a bath in a river. It was autumn. Recently I decided to try these cold showers. In both scenarios, I ended up with a fever the following day.🤒 People say that exposure to cold makes you more susceptible to contracting viruses and it weakens your immune system. Given the sickness I experienced, they may be right.

i have been doing this for two weeks now I can stay all through my bath in the coldest water that comes out of the shower. My question is why do I feel so relaxed even sleepy? my stress has gonde down so has the anxiety but I do not feel this energy surge everybody is talking about

Should you have a cold shower before or after a Jog?

cold shower before or after run?

Should I take a cold shower before or after I run ?

Where’s Nate?

July 18, 2022 Cold water to me tends to prompt a freeze affect or a slowing down effect. On aging? On healing? On a positive affect on INFLAMMATION? To awaken? Maybe or maybe not! Cold to have a health or an unhealthy benefit CAN BE a possibility for the use in its body lowering temperature affect. Regarding of your study or reading, the abuse use of coldness can be bad for your health despite any population or groups to live in lower temperatures for a long time.

It's jogging at your pace not running from problems or anything else to interest me. Thank you, Marcus Pea

I have been doing a shower every morning for a year. The first question to myself is 'why?' the answer is always 'yay!! I got the hardest chore done the morning'. It's great to ease the aches and pain from a workout.

So you say there is research...where are the citations?
