Winter Running Essentials

I’m just a Texas gal who is trying to survive running on the East Coast during the winer! Below is a list of items that have helped me concur going on runs or walks in the cold!

Accessories:

  • Handheld Water Bottle: Even though you don’t need as much water running in the winter months, it’s still important to fuel your body. I prefer this Handheld Bottle during the winter since it is a bit smaller, but still fits well over my gloves. https://amzn.to/3t98acd
  • Shoes: I alternate between my Brooks Ghosts and my Brooks Adrenalines depending on the season. I’ve currently been logging my miles in the Brooks Ghosts. https://amzn.to/3tafBj9
  • Flip Belt: This is a lifesaver when it comes to holding all of my miscellaneous objects. My favorite part is the zip pouch in the front for my phone and cards.  https://amzn.to/3ox0jBR
  • Fleece Lined Gloves: These have to be the most comfortable gloves I’ve ever gotten! Super easy to use your phone with as well. https://amzn.to/39hjQ4y
  • Ear Protector: Might seem silly to wear this neck gaiter on your ears.. but it’s the easiest thing I’ve found to protect my ears from the wind! https://amzn.to/3aeeoPi

Tops:

  • CRZ Long Sleeve: This shirt is a dupe for the Lululemon Swiftly Tech. I prefer to save on my tops and splurge on my jackets since those are more likely to keep me warm. https://amzn.to/2Mh7YHd
  • Define Jacket: I use this jacket for runs that are in the 30s. Paired with a long sleeve and gloves, I find this combo keeps me pretty warm! https://lululemon.prf.hn/l/KX9ZDmD
  • Down for It All Jacket: This jacket is a step up from the Define Jacket. It’s more like a puffer and keeps me warm in the below freezing temperatures! https://lululemon.prf.hn/l/rwN9v8e
  • Favorite Sports Bra: The Enlite Lululemon Bra is the ONLY Sports Bra that I have been able to wear while running with a large chest. This is the base layer with everything I wear! https://lululemon.prf.hn/l/78Yj3kx

Bottoms:

  • 90 Degree Fleece Leggings: Fleece leggings are controversial, however I find them to be so cozy and sometimes necessary. I love the 90 degrees leggings for a basic day to day legging. https://amzn.to/2L4pKgk
  • Lululemon Fast & Free Leggings: This is my FAVORITE pair of running leggings. I save them primarily for my long runs since they are more of a splurge item. https://lululemon.prf.hn/l/rwN9WV4

I hope this post serves as a resource to those trying to stay active over the next few months.
