Day #13 – What to Wear on the Winter Trails
I managed to run a bit over 5 miles this morning and a bit under 8 miles this evening, for today’s 13 miles. I really didn’t want to go out running after getting home (late) from work, but it was a good run while I was out there and obviously there was no real question about whether I’d go outside or not.
When I got back, I decided to show what I wear on these evening trail runs in the cold. Rather than just offering advice about what’s available (in last week’s articles) I show specifically what I am using.
Tonight, I ran with:
- Petzel Headlamp
- Planet Bike Taillight
- Nike Jacket (w/a very noticable and obnoxious color)
- Two Running Shirts – a short sleeve and a long sleeve
- Race Ready Running Shorts
- Dryline Running Tights
- Inov-8 Roclite 315s (with sheet metal screws)
- Wright Socks
- Zensah Leg Sleeves
Here are today’s numbers:
Miles Projected: 13 Miles (91 Miles Total)
Miles Run: 5.26 & 7.85 Miles for 13.11 Today (98.7 Miles Total)
Duration: 47:31 & 1:03:40 for 1:51:11 Today (17:52:52 Total)
Net Weight Change: -1 Pound (+½ Pound Total)
NiksGoft say: It agree, rather amusing opinion
