Winter is no longer coming - it is here!
I thought I'd list what I wore on my run back from work, and it was just about right for the 6km 40 minute jog home.
shoes - normal inov8 roclites, with debri gaitor to keep out the snow (but a size too big)
3 pairs of socks - normal school socks, insulated thermal Japanese technology socks, heavy duty smartwool winter socks.
4 pairs of trousers, compression/cycling shorts, thick winter cycling tights, lined shell/training pants, windproof over trousers.
4 shirts/jackets - long sleeved thermal base layer, thick long sleeved base layer, running soft shell fleece lined hoodie, patagonia wind shell.
2 buffs, one mainly for the neck, one to cover the face and ears
1 thick fleece hat (hoods as required)
3 pairs of gloves, liner gloves, thin fleece gloves, big soft shell wind resistant fleece gloves.
I got home with my eye lashes white and icing, and the breathing increasingly difficult as the buff over my mouth and nose froze.
Now be careful out there!
You must be mad! I now feel officially lazy.
