The benefits have us sold. And with the right gear and determination, running in cold weather can be as enjoyable as it is beneficial. From answering key questions (how cold is too cold?) to identifying your new favorite pair of running shoes from Zappos—this guide has everything you need to stick to your running routine, no matter the forecast. The best running outfit always starts with the perfect pair of running shoes—and that’s because running asks so much of our feet. For novice and seasoned runners alike, few shoes check all boxes like the Brooks Ghost 15. This neutral daily running shoe is lightweight and comfortable but offers the stability you need for all seasons. It doesn’t matter what the thermometer reads, your shoes will make or break your run. So choose wisely. How do you make a cold-weather run enjoyable? You dress for the occasion: in layers. Choose a base layer that will wick sweat and dry quickly. In other words: Avoid cotton. The Brooks Momentum Thermal Tights paired with the Notch Thermal Hoodie 2.0 make the perfect outfit for embracing harsher temps. For particularly cold days, layer the Brooks Thermal Pants on top of your tights and seal the deal with the Shield Hybrid Jacket 2.0, an insulated jacket that breathes and moves with every stride.
