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.
You do realize that TRAINING is to keep the body in good working order. It is not an excuse to abuse bones & muscles that you may need later.

Running and rucking help in both cardio and muscular development. But there are other way to do the same.

If you are stationed in an area that has inclement weather, you need to develop alternate training plans.

You should not be planning to beat the weather at it own game. This will not do you nor your employers any good.

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.
You are correct,, it does sound stupid...
