Cold weather doesnt mean that you have to banish yourself to the treadmill all winter long. Because of new technology in winter running clothes, gone are the days when runners trudged through outdoor winter running workouts wearing lots of heavy and uncomfortable clothing. Follow these tips and youll be able to run safely and comfortably in the cold weather: 1. Avoid Cotton! Cotton will soak up your sweat and then you will become cold rapidly and the layer may even freeze 2. Wear a Wicking Base Layer: The layer closest to your body should be made from a synthetic wicking material, such as DryFit, Thinsulate, Thermax, CoolMax, polypropolene or wool. This will wick the sweat away from your body, keeping you dry and warm. 3. Wind- and Water-proof Outer Layer: This layer should protect you against wind and moisture (rain, sleet, snow), but at the same time allow both heat and moisture to escape to prevent both overheating and chilling. Its a good idea to wear a jacket with a zipper for this layer, so that you can regulate your temperature by zipping it up and down 4. Wear A Hat: Select a hat that is made specifically for running. Beanie styles are very functional. It should be made of thin, lightweight technical fabrics so as not to trap excessive amounts of heat.
