Time for a Change of Clothes

Summer has gone, Autumn is here and Winter is not too far away. In the summer the minimum clothing is the order of the day for running. A Top, a pair of Shorts, Socks and Trainers will be adequate. As the seasons change there is a need to evaluate what extra clothing will be needed. As it gets colder and wetter things like a Jacket, Hat and Gloves come into the picture. What you should not do is go too quickly from minimum clothing to lots of extras in one go. This could mean that you get too hot when running and that is not a good position to be in. A gradual, staged progression is better and always go by how the weather is on the day that you are going to run. Of course the opposite is true as well. You do not want to be trying to run in your summer gear as it gets into winter. A level head, some caution and some wise choices will enable you to enjoy your running at this changing time of year.
