Expert 2098 Ontario Canada | Subject: RE: winter running clothing AS for Shoes I use a NB 910 trail Gore-Tex Lined trail shoe for rough trail running in the winter and Solomon Gore-Tex lined shoe when the conditions are not as rough sidewalks smooth packed trail, Almost any good trail shoe with some good marino wool socks will work great if its cold and dry, the Gore-Tex lined shoes are handy when it get wet and sloppy as they do keep the water out but they can get a bit warm. |

Champion 7547 Albuquerque, New Mexico | Subject: RE: winter running clothing You ask a number of questions. I run year round and did so in Illinois and Utah so there were times it was cold and/or snowy or icy. The temperature range you give is pretty broad. At 30F, I'd probably wear a single layer. Long sleeve tech-shirt, tights or nylon wind pants, knit gloves, and possibly a ball cap. At 10F, I'd wear multiple layers. Running glove-mitts, a long-sleeve tee with another shell, heavier running pants or tights under wind pants, a knit hat, and a neck gaiter. I try to wear socks that prevent bare skin showing in these temps. It also depends how hard I'm working and what other weather factors are significant. Running up the mountain, you're either working very hard and risk overheating, or throttling back the effort. Your effort running back down will be lower (and possibly into the wind). If you are soaked from the effort running up, you'll be very (dangerously) cold coming down. Much of my gear is no-name stuff I picked up on clearance and at end-of-seasons. If I were prepping for this run, I'd probably start with a single layer (long sleeve tee & tights) and make provisions to carry a pair of nylon wind pants, shell, heavier gloves, and the knit hat. I don't want to start out running in the heavy gloves and knit hat and saturate them. I'd also protect my face with vasoline, wear sunglasses, and carry lip balm. As for shoes, I'll often wear "trail shoes" to run in snow. (My "trail shoes" are usually grey/black versions of road shoes with a little more tread, not highly technical trail shoes.) After running, get into dry clothes immediately. Once you've showered, use some lotion all over because the cold, dry, air is hard on your skin. |

160 | Subject: RE: winter running clothing Originally posted by McFuzz Once you've showered, use some lotion all over because the cold, dry, air is hard on your skin. Not too scared for you since you already do hiking and your temperatures are not terribly cold. However McFuzz's remark about cold air being dry should also affect how you run. You will not run as fast with dry cold air coming through you lungs then with humid air. Unless you want to end up coughing for a few days... I would assume your side of the mountains is akin to desert and somewhat dry... |

48 Los Angeles, California | Subject: RE: winter running clothing wow, that was a lot of info! I think I got a pretty good idea about the whole thing (as good as I can get without actually doing it). cwx tights and new balance 910 are on the way, reasonable analogs of everything else I think I can dig up in my mountaineering pile thanks for being awesome! |
