FAQ
What should I wear to go running in the winter?
Being far less fit than I would like to be, I get hot very quickly on a run, but I find layers to be the answer. You are going to need your summer running tee or a base layer, then a long sleeve/quarter zip and a running jacket. Mix these options up to suit the conditions with hats and gloves and you should be good in most conditions. Winter weight tights are great for the legs too.
