Hello everyone,

I'm a reporter from the University of Florida doing a feature on training for marathons in cold weather and I was wondering if any marathoners in the northern states would be willing to let me interview them about how cold-weather training differs from normal training. If you're wondering why someone in Florida is asking about cold weather, well, it's part of a much larger project about how the body reacts differently in different weather conditions.

Even if you don't want to be formally interviewed (by phone or email), feel free to throw out tips, as I've never run more than a mile at a time in my life and I could use all the help I can get.

If you do want to be interviewed, email me at taylorprovost@ufl.edu and we'll set something up.

Thanks,

Taylor Provost
