Wear moisture-wicking base layers to keep sweat away from your skin, an insulating layer for warmth, and a windproof and waterproof outer layer to protect against cold and precipitation.
Cover Extremities
Don't forget a hat, gloves, and thermal socks to keep your head, hands, and feet warm.
Choose the Right Shoes
Use running shoes with good traction to prevent slipping on icy or snowy surfaces.
Warm Up Indoors
Spend a few extra minutes warming up inside to prepare your muscles for the cold.
Stay Visible
Days are shorter in winter, so wear reflective clothing or accessories and use lights or headlamps if running in low-light conditions.
Hydrate
Even in the cold, it's essential to stay hydrated. Drink water before and after your run.
Plan Your Route
Be aware of icy spots and avoid them if possible. Stick to well-lit and well-traveled paths.
