It’s back to that awful time of year where I have to bundle up for a run. Here are the top winter running essentials.
-
Fleece lined leggings. An absolute MUST.
-
Base layer long sleeve shirt.
-
Fleece lined jacket.
-
Gloves! So important for me with Raynauds. I even have to put hot packs in them.
-
A good hat. One with a thin fleece lining will help wick away the sweat.
-
Trail running shoes are a bonus for trucking through icy, slushy, snowy streets.
Happy Running! Bundle up!
What are your winter running essentials?
Here in the friendly freezing north, O’Canada, I just wear those cheap cotton 89 cent gloves. Easy to take off if my hands warm up and I need to shove them in a pocket. And at that price I don’t mind losing them. A good base layer shirt is a must, too. When it’s really cold (-15C or colder) I wear two shirts. I tend not to wear fleece though.
