Freezing limbs, ice-cold hands, and limited hours of daylight: running in the winter is not for the faint-hearted. But when you’re training for a half-marathon, as I am, the kilometres have to be logged regardless of the weather.
Thankfully, the best winter running gear is your best friend when pounding the pavement during the colder months. Think head torches to light up your way in the evening, sweat-wicking gloves, thermals, running jackets and lined leggings. Some overlooked items can make a world of difference, from merino wool socks that prevent toes from going numb to trail shoes with extra grip for slippy conditions.
