Colder temps don’t need to mess with your miles.
Most runners will tell you that fall is the ideal running season. Yes, you need some cold weather running gear, but those cooler temps mean it’s easier to keep your heart rate from spiking and your hydration levels up. Plus, trails and parks are free of summer crowds—which means more unfettered miles for you.
If it’s really cold, multiple layers—beginning with a sweat-wicking one—will always serve you better than pulling on a cotton hoodie before getting out the door. Not only do you want to be able to peel off a layer and wrap it around your waist if you get too warm, cotton holds onto sweat and becomes miserable when wet.
If you live in a drizzly climate, lightweight, non-constrictive rain gear is also a must. Unless you live in a perpetually cold and wet place, your running shell should be light enough that you can take it off and easily wrap it around your waist, or pack it into a backpack or fanny pack. Some runners will go as far as waterproof pants, but for most people, just a pair of running tights is plenty warm.
