You can run at any time of the day and year, at any temperature and wind, and in rain and snow. But it is necessary to know the peculiarities of running under certain weather conditions. Today we will consider how to dress for running in winter, so that this activity is useful and it is comfortable to run.
Running clothes in winter
Unlike walking, where a down jacket is the best clothing in cold weather, since it retains heat well, another parameter is required when running from clothing - moisture removal.
When we run, we sweat. And winter is no exception. And if in the summer the moisture evaporates instantly and does not cause any problems, then in the winter there is nowhere to go for moisture and if you run in ordinary clothes, you will have to run in wet clothes. Which by the end of the run will also become cold and the likelihood of getting sick will increase significantly.
To prevent this from happening, you can end your run on time when the sweat is still warm. And you can do more competently - purchase thermal underwear for sports.
The task of thermal underwear is precisely to wick moisture away from the body. That is, you, like in a diaper ad, always stay dry. Thermal underwear is made mainly of synthetic fibers. Since natural fabrics do not have the ability to wick moisture away like synthetics. There is one and two-layer thermal underwear. Single-layer thermal underwear only wicks moisture away from the body. Accordingly, from above this moisture is taken over by other clothes that you put on. That is, if you put on ordinary sweatpants over such single-layer thermal pants, they will be wet.
Two-layer thermal underwear contains a second layer, which just performs the function of a sponge that absorbs all moisture into itself. It also protects the athlete from the wind.
By type, thermal underwear is divided into thermal pants, thermal shirts, thermal whites and thermal socks, which are presented in a large assortment on the websitehttp://sportik.com.ua/termonoski
In this way, run in winter best in thermal underwear. From above, depending on how low the temperature is outside, wear a blazer and pants.
It is better to run with gloves. There must be a hat on the head. You can buy a hat made according to the same principle as thermal underwear. Or you can run in regular cotton. The main thing is that the head does not freeze.
On the face, in severe frost, you can wind a scarf. The neck should be covered with a scarf or collar even in low frost.
Running shoes in winter
Running in winter is necessary exclusively in sneakers... No sneakers will work for this. Moreover, sneakers must be running shoes. But don't run in sneakers with a mesh base. Since they, firstly, will instantly get wet. And secondly, they will tear quickly, especially when running on crust.
The outsole should be selected from as soft rubber as possible in order to have the best grip on snow. The problem is that the softer the rubber, the faster it wears off on the pavement. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid running on a hard surface in such sneakers.
Do not be afraid, in socks, especially thermal socks, your feet will not freeze.
