gear for running 40 km/miles Explanation: You really need to look at the context you have, but I think it's more likely to be about the goal of running 40 miles or km, rather than temperature. It's just the phrasing "running 40" isn't a natural English way of expressing running when it's 40°F outside. It's even less natural to express the idea of running when 40 years old. |
