Winter will throw everything it has at you to prevent you from getting your miles in year-round. The frigid cheeks, harsh air irritating your lungs, and all sorts of treachery underneath your feet — they’re all in cahoots to make you call it off for the season and let your workouts languish.

The most tenacious of runners will tough it out through it all, though, and the right equipment can help you stave off the worst of winter. Most important of all is having the right pair of shoes. You want sneakers with tread stout enough to keep you upright on snow, ice, and salt. Waterproofing is key, too, lest the elements get inside and begin to freeze up your feet.
