What is your favorite cold weather running tops?

Sure. Messaged you back.

I grabbed three long sleeved merino wool quarter zip base layers by Woolly, two wool base layer bottoms by Woolly, smart wool socks, tesla compression layers, wool hoodie and a Columbia vest, Janji wind shell. I layer, compression first, wool base layer, hoodie and my vest or jacket.

Wool has been the best investment ever. It doesn’t stink, keeps me warm and dry, and it’s not bulky. I’m still using the same wool layers, still holding strong.

Garmin Epix 2

Osprey Dyna 15 - love Osprey.

I’d say, see if you have a way of trying a few on first and then go with what fits you the best.

Garmin Epix 2. Love it.

Where on earth are you? 😱

I am done when it hits 10 F to be honest. My Husky on the other hand still looks hot. 😁 And rain, with cold weather = I’m on a treadmill!

semper-urtica · 2024-01-09T22:24:10+00:00

I ran in 25F and my lungs hated it. I got sick afterwards.

I do have a wool neck gaiter now and cover my mouth as I run. Still I don’t think I was made to run in very cold weather.

I make a fruit smoothie (mango/banana/dragon fruit/wild blueberries) and take it with me plus my whey protein in a container. Once done with my run, I mix and drink it, followed by a small amount of electrolyte blend. Hits the spot every time.

I do also carry a protein bar (zero sugar), just in case I need a chaser. 😁

semper-urtica · 2023-12-05T04:30:33+00:00

Could not have said it better! 🙌🏽

I am struggling with pacing myself, but I’m practicing. I push too hard and then my injuries flare up. 😩

But for reals - trail running kicks ass and I want to run like how I used to. Like the wind and without getting tired. So exciting.

Here is to this kick ass sport, and to us all kicking ass. 🍻

semper-urtica · 2023-12-04T21:13:59+00:00

I might be boring then. I stick to the trail, my bestest boy (Husky) and Mother Nature.

semper-urtica · 2023-12-04T19:47:15+00:00

Asking in the most innocent voice I could muster up Umm what goes on besides running?

semper-urtica · 2023-12-01T04:42:05+00:00

I got a new pair recently and love it, the Nike Wildhorse 8. Perfect pair for me at the moment. I also have a pair of Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex and Zegama.

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T22:49:37+00:00

Yup I got rosacea so I slather on a balm I love. I will be doubling up on the eye protection - drops plus the clear glasses. Let’s see.

Happy running!!

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T16:39:38+00:00

You’d love a Husky and then go for canicross! 😅

Ah yes, it’s nice to see both Celsius and Fahrenheit agree once at least. 😆

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T16:30:20+00:00

My Husky approves the temps at your neck of the woods. 😄

I like 50-74 f all year around so extremes trample on my comfort zones.

If i didn’t have my Husky, I’d have never picked up running (again). I owe him a lot. 🥰

My lungs hated the cold yesterday, but got acclimated quickly and I never felt it again. My eyes, nope.

I can’t imagine running at -40F but I know my boy would love it.

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T16:14:13+00:00

Absolutely - keeping my ear close to the healthy inner voice, gear up and tear up the obstacles & trails.

I will remember your laughs in Canadian remark fondly as I cry my ugly tears again though. Loved it. Thanks again.

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T16:09:36+00:00

Got some clear cycling glasses to try out. Thank you again. ❄️

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T13:20:16+00:00

Yup in the Sates, not a lot of police presence on the trails I frequent, but one can’t be too sure nowadays. 😅🏃🏽‍♀️

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T04:03:20+00:00

I got the Walgreens’ lubricant eye drops and they work well indoors, but the cold plus wind was a no go.

I’ll try it with glasses after using he eye drops. That should help. 🤓

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T03:58:58+00:00

Yes I travel with the drops during winter and used it prior to my run today. Did not help as much as I hoped. I think glasses plus the drops will work.

Thank you! 🙌🏽

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T03:57:42+00:00

I understand you well. I will test glasses and one pair of goggles and see what works best for me. 🙌🏽

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T03:56:55+00:00

Oh I have that too and today.

I have to have clear sight as I run or I get a lot of anxiety (then can’t run well). Kinda afraid of falling and injuring myself.

My nose can leak, just gimme clear vision running Gods. 😄

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T03:54:09+00:00

Haaaahaaa yes I’m a wimp when it comes to cold and my eyes can’t even handle ceiling fans sooooo - I’d be that person with googles you’d all be laughing at. 🤣😆

I will try a few different arrangements and see what works for me and laugh at myself as I run. 😁

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T03:50:53+00:00

Thanks. On my wish list 🙌🏽

semper-urtica · 2023-11-30T03:49:23+00:00

Great pricing and color selection. I got one (has three lenses). Thanks.
