What do you wear when you are out for a run. The weather is still quite cool, even cold at times. I am thinking of doing the couch to 5k program. And shopping and new clothes always gets me in the mood for exercise. So what sort of clothes should I buy. I feel the cold a lot
Re: Running clothes
Just buy a weatherproof warm hoodie....wear it over your jogging bottoms or tights and stuff.
Re: Running clothes
Training pants, jackets and running shoes...
Check out gap or old navy for workout clothes. Wear a hoodie to keep you warm but after running for few minutes you'll be hot. You can buy long sleeves t shirts too with yoga pants.
Re: Running clothes
You can wear thermal pants that have fleece lining if you tend to get cold easily. I also like to take a headband to cover my ears and to keep my hair away from my eyes on a windy day. Long sleeve shirts are good too. And definitely make sure you have the right shoes for running, that's a big must.
You can get workout clothes basically anywhere really - even at Wal-mart. :D
Re: Running clothes
you’d be surprised at how quickly you feel warm even in snowy weather if you are running. the first 5 minutes are the worst, but after that you really need as little as possible. the only thing that is a must in cold weather are gloves, coz your fingers will be sure to feel the cold. a decent wicking cap that covers your ears if your ears hurt. nothing that is cotton and nothing that doesnt breathe. or your sweat will stay on the fabric and literally freeze you. no more than two layers, and both should be lighter than you think they should be.

this is a pretty good tool.

Thanks that is veryhelpful
Re: Running clothes
I normally just put on a layer of compression clothing and then normal trouser/shorts and top.
and as queer said, a warm cap to cover ears and gloves are times.
