Die-hard runners keep running even when temperatures plummet and there's snow and ice on the ground. In order to exercise outdoors in the freezing cold, you've got to dress properly so you stay protected from the chilling wind but also dry and comfortable when you begin to sweat. Here's a basic list of how to layer up before a Winter run.

good post, i want to get into it this year
1it's so annoying because your mind says it's cold out, so you tend to layer, then a mile into your run you are sweating to pieces!
this is a really good guide to keep people from putting on too much!
2Thinsulated socks!
3hate, hate, HATE winter running. yuck. this is the number one reason why I re-joined my gym.
4Definitely useful... I'll be doing some running tomorrow morning.
5Nice post, I live in thermals until March ha ha
6My question is, what socks are good for keeping your feet warm but do NOT contain any wool? (Wool makes me itch horribly and turn red.)
7smart blonde- lucy makes really good running socks- just make sure you don't get 100% cotton ones!
8Apparently some runners snowshoe and even do snowshoe races in winter instead. I don't run but I'm thinking about trying snowshoeing, which is supposed to burn a crazy amount of calories.
9check, check, check and check!
10One piece of advise....dress in sweat wicking clothes and wear just enough layers so that you are chilly (not cold) at the beginning of your run.
