I have considered shemaughs, scarves, over mouth etc., and have even considered a gas mask to run in.
I hate treadmills with the utmost passion, because they don't feel realistic to me.
I have to run every day for monthly psts and it is starting to snow here. 
Please don't crucify me yet, I know it sounds stupid, but I need to run to stay in my contract. I would be extremely grateful for any advise on the subject. |
I would find an indoor pool and swim until near exhaustion, M-F. On Sat./Sun., I put on a set of snow shoes and get out of town for a comfortable 8-10 miler. You want a real breather?, go find a Nordic Center and put on some skate skis, and knock out an easy 20-30K course. Put a Biathlon Rifle on your back for added weight, you can then practice breathing and marksmanship at the same time.
Having said all that, why not try becoming friends with the treadmill.
Stay safe.
