I’m not going to lie. While I love running, I’ve always been a bit of a prima donna or should we just say, a wuss, when it came to running in any environment that was not a “perfect” temperature and climate or required me to have to think about gear. If it wasn’t 60-75 degrees and sunny or on a treadmill, it wasn’t happening.
I finally realized that this was a bit ridiculous and was greatly missing out on the joy and benefits of running. I decided to cut the crap and figure out what the F I needed to get my ass in gear. Here are the 5 outdoor running gear essentials that got my ass on the streets and feeling great!
Outdoor Running Essentials For Brisk Weather
- TrailHeads Women’s Ponytail Moisture Wicking Ear & Head Band: This doesn’t slip around and not only keeps my hair out of my face but keeps my ears warm and cozy while I’m running!
2. Anqier Running Gloves, Lightweight Touchscreen Windproof Gloves for Winter Early Spring Or Fall: These keep my hands warm but also able to use my iphone if needed. They are nice and lightweight allowing me to feel stress free while running
3. E Tronic Edge Running Belt: It’s super comfortable, fits all phone models, has an adjustable waist to fit all sizes and zipper pockets for essentials.
4. Apple AirPods with Charging Case: Wireless Apple Earpods have been a game changer for me to run while listening to an podcast or music
You then have a running coach that literally coaching you, prompting you and encouraging you throughout the workout at the respective inflection points – “pick up the pace”, “take it to a walk”, “you got this”, etc. The best part is, the music intensity and beats are directly correlated to the place of the work out – it beats pick up in intensity when you’re pace and heart rate is, making it feel perfectly aligned with your mood and with what you need in that moment! It’s truly incredible!
Also, you never feel like you’re alone when you’re running. It’s literally only $9.99/month & even less if you buy the annual subscription.
They also have programs and challenges you can join to keep you on track and motivated with others.
Addtionally, they also have stretching, meditation, cycling, yoga, pilates, strength training and more!
6. Nike Pro Hypewarm Hood: This headpiece is soooo comfortable + so incredibly warm! It protects your face, head + ears without bulk + doesn’t cause you to sweat!
7. Under Armour Women’s ColdGear Authentic Leggings: These leggings are amazing. They keep me warm in the cold temps but are light weight + don’t feel cumbersome or cause me to sweat!
They are breathable and are now my favorite leggings to wear even when I’m not outdoor running in the cold!
8. Under Armour Women’s ColdGear Authentics Compression Mock. This top is SO comfortable
and lightweight that I don’t even realize it’s on!
It’s not one of those sup snug ones that you feel like is going to be super uncomfortable + unflattering though. It actually hides most imperfections while also keeping you super comfy! It keeps you super warm + toasty, but it’s breathable + moisture wicking material does not make you sweat or hot! I’m obsessed!
9. 
It’s also a great layering piece and can go on top of the one above.
