Cold Weather Running Essentials – The Small Things Blog

One.  Two.  Three.  Four. Five.  Six.  Seven.  Eight.  Nine.  Ten.  Eleven. Twelve.  Thirteen.

While we have had some unseasonably warm temperatures this winter, we’ve ALSO had plenty of super cold days, which means I need to layer up when I go out for a run!

This is my first winter season of running, and I’m surprised at how warm I get after about a mile. There have been several runs where I ditched my gloves a few miles in because my hands were too hot!

The biggest key is keeping my body warm and wearing an ear warmer. The thermal tights from Lululemon are absolutely perfect for me. They’re warm without being too hot and somehow also feel thin and flexible.

I also always wear an ear warmer if it’s in the 30’s or lower to keep my ears warm. I wondered if this would interfere with the Shokz headphones but it doesn’t.

Other than some warm layers, everything else stays the same for shoes, socks, belt bag, etc.
