In summer, I tend to sweat a lot when running. No problem with that, as I enjoy it. In winter, I have a choice: I can either dress warmly, and sweat, or dress lightly, and not sweat. Which is more healthful? Is there some value to sweating? Any thoughts?
thanks

Sweating is the most effective way to cool the body during exercise. That is its sole purpose. Sweating more is not the goal of exercise.
If you overdress, then you might stop exercising sooner whereas dressing appropriately might allow you to continue for more time which will either expend more energy or induce a greater training effect. Sweating is not the goal. (An exception is when one is trying to acclimate to a warmer environment, but that is a specialized case).

In the movie "Running on the Sun" about the Badwater 135 they show how runners prepare to run in Death Valley. One guy runs on his treadmill, dressed in pants and ski parka, with the exhaust tube for his dryer blowing right into his face.

9 years ago I was acclimating myself to 100-110 degree weather in Oklahoma. I moved to Oklahoma from a country with cool summers. To acclimate myself, I would run in that weather in a jacket. Worked great, in the sense that working out in hot weather is no longer a problem for me.
I've found that my acclimation to hot weather quickly dissapates when it gets cooler. After 2 weeks of not running in hot weather, then suddenly it's hot again, I will feel non-acclimated and my pace will suffer.
