Not yet! When I’ve tried wearing some new long sleeved t shirts I’ve bought for winter, I’ve been absolutely boiling. Saying that, I haven’t been out in a week so maybe the temperature has finally dropped around here!
I did have chilly hands the other day so it might be time for the super cool gloves and t shirt look…
Temperatures/ windchill are fluctuating up here in North Yorkshire. I was cold on one run just over a week ago. I felt it in my calf which took 3k or so to warm up properly. So next run saw the full Autumn outfit, with a warm a undershirt, leggings, gloves and woolly hat. Although the temperature was about the same as the first run, the wind chill wasn’t there; so I was far too hot! The climate is toying with us!
🤣 yeah! (… although, I must admit I was glad for the warm weather until now. Our heating broke down ca 2 month ago, and we’re getting a new heating system (air source heat) installed only this week. So we had to make do with a cold house! 🥶🥶🥶🥶)
I tied my jacket round my waist on way back and realised shorts would have been ok, I think if I went along the river I'd have worn shorts but didn't feel quite comfortable along the main road, I realised though this morning how much I love running
Gloves won't be staying in the drawer for much longer will they? I made us fingerless ones a couple years back and they are great for running, makes blowing your nose easier I found
As I am lucking to be able to run midday, I haven't had to add too many layers... I am wearing a long-sleeve t-shirt under a thin wind-breaker, a buff and a cotton beanie (which came off today at about 15 minutes into my run...). Once I've started running that feels warm enough - at least when the sun's out. On Monday, I missed gloves for about half the run... I think it's time to dig those out...
Umm definitely not CBDB ! It was 12° when I ran today, so shorts and t-shirt for me. The forecast is for much cooler weather by this weekend, potentially just a couple of degrees overnight and single figures in the daytime. So depending on whether it's windy or not, I'll probably wear leggings or long sleeves, or both. However, I loathe being too hot and have run in sub-zero temperatures wearing less than you had on today!
Ha ha, normally I’m pretty warm always, around the house that is and we keep our house temp cooler than most. (At the moment we do not have any heating as we’ve been waiting since 2 month for the new air source heat pump to be installed. Our old gas boiler broke so we had to make this huge / costly decision to go green)
But when running, I need to have it cozy and warm. Strange that.
We're in 43 Haute-Loire, where snow tyres or other approved equipment have been obligatory from the start of November! Weather's been crazy for months, apparently October's average temperature was 19°, which is 5° above normal. It can change very fast though. Good luck with getting your new heating system installed!
You have a lot of layers... I am still long sleeved tee and either a running gilet or lightweight jacket... always my cap or beanie... buff, if wet or windy... and long leggings.
I am resisting my thermal tops until the weather gets colder, and my thermal leggings. I am wearing fingerless gloves... they are mainly for my arthritic joint pain but are so warm and as SueAppleRun says.. make blowing your nose or tapping your watch easier
Snow 😳😳😳😳 please not quite yet! Our heating is not yet running and the system is only being installed this and next week. So I’d be happy with still a week or two of warmer winter weather!
(Wearing layers outside the house for a run is fun, but wearing them inside the house feels just sad! 🤣🤣)

Ha ha I was joking...( although I do love white soft snow), but no, no heating is bad enough when the weather is only chilly... but real cold! My heart goes out to the hundreds of folk who have no heating at all.
We do try to keep our heating low at home, and tend to wear layers anyway.... and here at the coast..it is just the norm'.
I'm in a long sleeve top and running jacket with hood, and a woollen beanie. I was still too hot yesterday on my jeffing run (that sounds a bit like swearing)! I have a scarf thingy which I have yet to wear. I'm not one for gloves, I usually take them off and then I lose one on the way!
Goodness I'd melt! I find at the moment, I do need a jacket, and start off with gloves, but these only stay on for about 10 minutes till the blood flows! I always overheat if I put too much on, even if it is tempting as you leave the house.
depends where you live and how much you feel the cold, I think. I went out in the rain and wind this morning in full length leggings, vest and rain top, with a hat on. Should have worn gloves as hands were very cold, otherwise was toasty. I find hat and gloves and neck buff essential in winter. Keeping my core warm is also important, so adding sleeveless body warmer as it gets chillier is good. I am guilty of being overdressed for runs, as I find it difficult to adhere to the idea of being cold at the start of a run😬. Having a focus of running, swimming and generally trying to keep fit really helps me get through winter, though😎
Hilarious, 😂. Although I've lost weight I'm still well covered. I generate a lot of heat when running so when I started this journey in Spring I found shorts and t-shirt were enough. For reasons explained elsewhere just one foggy morning run on Monday of this week had me use new gear, Sainsbury's active wear, joggers and long sleeved top. Cosy enough and good value too!
I'm wearing two layers on top when it gets down to 12°C, gloves from about 8°C and below, but I don't think of wearing anything other than shorts on my legs until it gets down to about 6°C.
If it's near freezing I'll thicken up the layers: first leggings, then trousers. And the buff for my neck.
I carry my small form plastic parkrun barcode card in a pocket. It has my name and ICE details.
It all depends on how much chill there will be in the air when I'm moving through it. Sometimes in foggy conditions the air has been very cold but still and I've sweltered in too many layers.
Don't forget that some guys have hair on their legs which acts as insulation.
But it's mostly that my legs don't feel cold once I'm properly running unless it's really cold or there's wind chill. My hands do as there's reduced blood flow to them when I'm running, even when it's not that cold out.
Still shirt sleeved tips , feels like temperature of 5degrees. Did wear my running longs but that was because I forgot to get my shorts out and didn't want to wake the wife.I'm thinking about buying running sleeves so I can remove them when I get warm.
