Speaking of running, I hate the fact that I can't run much in winter (which is pretty close now) in Bucharest. I don't like wearing heavy and running.

I have a pair of thermal tights that can keep me warm on temperatures down to -10 degrees. As for the upper part I start with a merino wool tight to skin top on top of that a long sleeve top always synthetic material, the long sleeve can be replaced with a micro fleece if it is too cold. On top of that if it is windy I have a wind stopper, extremely thin and light. Or all in all I replace the top and the wind stopper with a thermal jacket if it is very cold and sunny and wind free. Very functional, very light and very thin.

Human body and everything that its made of, is made to perform optimally at 36.5°C
To warm
- Blood circulates and acts as an inner cooling system. blood vessels open to gift the heat to the streams. Stream reaches trough embranchement the layers where the sweatglands are. sweat is created to exchange heat with surface.
- This proces happens each time when you work out. However when its to warm, this requires additional efford and energy that isnt going to the lifting/cardio.
- To fasten it up, the heart will pump faster. This lowers the ammount your hearbeat can go up while excercising.
(normal : 70 -> 180 = it can rise 110) (now : 95 ->180 = it can rise 95)
To cold
- Muscle contraction requires optimal temperatures and acidity. Like an engine, "cold muscles" arent good because the fluids dont flow as efficient as they should, and the tissue is more rigid.
- lower flexibility of tissue can lead to injuries
- low temperature effects the carnosine working, meaning your muscles operate at a lower ph, wich will give more muscular pain and less good recovery afterwards
Id say, a powerlifter has more issues when its to warm, and a runner has much more issues when its to cold

I really hope you didn't take me at all seriously there?? 
I too enjoy a good run as I do twice a week. Obviously the conditions are nothing like the one you're describing but I'd certainly love to give it a go and experience what it'll feel like. Always up for a challenge.

Incline dumbell press, incline dumbbell flyes and incline push ups, but from my personal experience, you can't grow upper chest quickly. It took me at least a couple of months until I saw any improvement in that department and even now, it's probably my least developed muscle. If you are worried that your chest isn't growing as fast as you would like to or think you are doing it wrong, you should relax. As long as you get the pump and your muscles feel a little bit sore the next morning, you are probably good.
