It might be darker and colder, but once we dress right and choose safe routes, this is actually a wonderful time of the year for running.Safety comes first this time of year, so whatever you do decide to wear, please ensure you are visible. I’ve noticed so many runners in recent weeks in dark clothing. They have been caught by surprise at how quick darkness descends. It seems strange to wear hi-vis over a T-shirt on a balmy October evening.
Pop on a pair of gloves and a hat or a buff. These are easy to peel off and stick in your waist band or pocket. I always recommend a warm-up indoors so your body is warm, ready to run and not inclined to crave extra layers starting out.Top of the running fashion questions I’m asked relates to waterproof running jackets.

You don’t need to spend a fortune. You probably already have most of what you need. It’s just a matter of digging it out.My winter treat in recent years is my waterproof socks. Weird as it sounds, once my toes feel warm, the rest of my body is just fine. It makes coaching, running on grass and even watching kids’ football on the side of a mucky pitch more comfortable and enjoyable. I’m not a fan of squelching at my feet as I run along.
