TRAINING

Figuring out exactly what to wear when running in different temperatures can be a challenge! Whether it's a chilly morning or a warm and sunny afternoon, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather. If you live in a location where you experience a wide variety of weather conditions throughout the year, or if you find yourself running in new places when traveling, wearing the right gear for the weather can mean the difference between a great run and a downright terrible (or even dangerous!) one.
