What to Wear.....when running.

Will_Run_for_Food

I agree with everyone who said layers - you might be surprised at how quickly and how much you warm up during your run, even if it's freezing outside. I also recommend a buff for your face - easy to cover up when you need to, easy to take off when you need to. I find putting Vaseline on your nose and cheeks helps against wind burn. Have fun!

Gastro issues suck on a run...

Totally pisses me off when that happens.... especially if it gets deceptive with me and doesn't forewarn me until I'm 4 or 5 miles from home. I hate having to get creative...

You can get running tights at Target that are cold weather gear - cheaper than the UnderArmour brand and the ones from Target actually stay up.

A hat or headband plus gloves

A jacket - either full zip or half zip.

Baselayers- there are different levels by UA. Craft has good ones but those are spendy.

I overheat easily. I'm in Maine and last night for my run in 18F, I wore tights from Target, a UA coldgear jacket, a tech t-shirt, and a headband that I had to remove since I got too warm.

PS- you're an enabler- I have new tights from Old Navy (30-40% off actually).

They are warm- and fabulous.

You're welcome Jo!

I love the ON tights as well, I prefer them and my Target ones to my UA and Gap ones. They stay up, quality is great, I can buy the ON ones long enough for me online lol

me too.
- I really like their capris pants- they have an extra seam on the outside- and a great waist band- they really DO stay up.

I'm a touch concerned about the ones I got last night- they have more of a fold over waist- I might have to make up my own draw string for them after a few wears- they fabric has more give (super comfie though)- but not as much structure in terms of seams- their capris usually are amazing- I have a single pair of their shorter capris and I adore them- so I'm interested to see how these hold up- 22 and change at 30% off- I spent less than 40 for the tights and a new 3/4 zip.


As far as running- I like long runner tights- sweats- or anything baggy about the ankles pi%% me right off.

I also don't like hoodies- they bounce to much. semi fitted- wind blocking- and an ear muff type thing- beanies get a little hot- but a headband/ear warmer is not a bad touch.

I actually really like running in the cold- something about it is really refreshing and invigorating.

yes- invigorating- that's the right word.

Whoa what?! Jo runs?! =P

I have a hoodie thingy from ON I got on clearance earlier this year. I don't wear it too much I overheat in it since I can't unzip it lol

I saw a lady running in flared pants last weekend, it'd drive me nuts too. I could lift in those but not run. I'd probably trip

usually sprints at this point- but yes- I do cough/have run.

I used to run cross country- I'm actually a surprisingly good runner for a meat head LMAO- I average 9-9:30 min miles when I'm not training and I just go out for a yog.

but yes- Gasp- I do occasionally go yogging.

I'm just giving you a hard time since yesterday you said you don't run and just want sparkly, retro-reflective pants =P

Runner's World has a great feature where you input the weather conditions, and it tells you what to wear: http://www.runnersworld.com/what-to-wear

I usually fall somewhere between the "Feel Cool" and "Feel In-Between" levels, but everyone is different.
