There was a time in my life, if you asked me to run a mile, I would say no chance. The younger I am, the more shocked I will be to know that I am only a few days away from running my first 5km. Even though I used to be a power and fitness buff, recently cardio training has taken over me like no other and I’ve always followed that craze. I first challenged myself to run 5km because I was looking for a new way to set goals and improve. my fitness. Now that I have successfully completed my training lap, I know for sure that I will spend the winter running outdoors and will need a wardrobe to match.
I’ve never actually been in the habit of exercising outdoors in the winter and I’m very new to all this, but after browsing through my favorite fitness sites and asking a few friends about their tips and tricks, I think I got it. Experienced runners I spoke to have mentioned that focusing on keeping the limbs warm with a soft beanie and gloves is essential. Wearing layers of tight skin seems to be the move for the bottom. A winter coat would be too bulky and keep me too warm, so I really found myself drawn to lightweight jackets and quarter-zip zippers. Traction running shoes are also a must. Below, find 30 items I’m thinking of adding to my NYC wardrobe to stay warm this winter.
