What To Wear When Running In The Cold<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs we mentioned your body will begin to heat up as you run meaning your running temperature will be more than the outside temperature. Therefore a rule of thumb should be to add 10 degrees to the outside temperature to find out how you should dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this could also depend on the length of your run, your running pace, how quickly you warm up, and if you’re someone who feels the cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When looking at the outside temperature you’ll be running in, look into the windchill as this will make the temperature feel colder than it is, so you’ll need to dress for that temperature and add 10-20 degrees depending on your run distance\/pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a general idea, here’s what is recommended to wear based on the running temperature (outside temp + 10 degrees) to keep you comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
0-9<\/strong>°F – <\/strong>Two-layered shirts, a windbreaker\/jacket, winter running tights or trousers, hat\/headband, mittens, and warm running socks<\/p>\n\n\n\n10-19°F – <\/strong>Two-layered shirts, winter running tights\/leggings, mittens, hat, a windbreaker, and running socks<\/p>\n\n\n\n20-29°F – <\/strong>A long sleeve shirt (or jacket) and a short-sleeve shirt, running tights\/leggings, lighter gloves, and a headband to cover your ears<\/p>\n\n\n\n30-39°F – <\/strong>A long sleeve shirt, shorts or tights (your choice), gloves, and a headband<\/p>\n\n\n\n40-49°F – <\/strong>A long sleeve shirt, shorts or tights and you can choose to wear a headband and gloves if you feel the cold<\/p>\n\n\n\n50+°F- <\/strong>A short sleeve shirt\/tank top and shorts <\/p>\n\n\n\nLayers are an integral part of cold weather running as you can easily control your internal temperature as you can remove a layer if you get too warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure all your running gear is moisture-wicking to remove the sweat from your body as quickly as possible so you don’t get a chill from the cold air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
