Well that’s was a shock to the system. It was sooooo cold I couldn’t see clearly cos my eyes were running so much. I think I need some warmer leggings as my legs were really really cold 🥶But I did manage a bit of a run/walk. Hey ho onwards we go 🤣

I have some very cheap thermal leggings from the infamous central aisles at lidl and they make a fantastic difference. And good for you for getting out there! Even with my leggings I had to wait until early afternoon yesterday, hoping it would be warmer. It wasn't!

An extra layer makes a huge difference. My coldest run, well below 0C, I had at least 2 layers everywhere except knee to top of thigh. Felt great on the run but when I got home my thighs were completely numb, as unfeeling as they were when I had an epidural 😂 (though I didn't go for a 5k after that!)Top tip: mittens are great for keeping your hands warm 😁

I bought some thermal leggings online. They do the job keeping my legs warm but they're a light coloured thermal layer over the thighs with black on top, so when I put them on and it stretches a bit it looks like I'm just wearing black pants and stockings 😂 So I save them for the very cold, very early mornings when nobody's around to question me on my choices 🤭

I wear a pair of loose shorts over leggings if it's really cold. This stops overheating from thermal leggings, but keeps me warm.

It’s really miserable out there at the moment. Feels like it has been a very long winter. Fingers crossed for a lovely summer, we deserve it. I run all year round in shorts. But I do layer up my top half, wear gloves when it’s very cold and I also wear a bobble hat and a snood around my neck.
