So..... running - Page 63

I'm buying a Montane ultra thin windproof smock (Featherlight Smock: £45). It's not so much that it's a waterproof, but over a thinner running/cycling top it stops the wind blowing the heat out of you so you can wear less. I'll mainly be using it for cycling where I'll really feel the benefit but it'll probably come out for the occasional run as well.

On the legs I wear full length tights and shorts over the top if it's really cold but it's a bit too much really and I overheat. I'll probably just use my capris unless it gets really cold.

Yeah windproof gear really does help to keep you warm. Amazing what a difference it makes! The only reason I wear full length tights is because I get eczema on my legs which is worsened by exposure to the elements.

Just admit it's because you like showing off your booty

That's why I hide mine under my shorts anyway

Trust me, nobody wants to see my booty wibbling along the street

It gets shown whether I wear full length or capri tights. Can't do those flappy shorts

Male Joggers and Runners of BD; how do you deal with keeping the gentleman sausage and love medallions warm on bitter winter excursions?

Keep a firm grip

I don't think I've noticed having a cold packet of Wotsits. I guess my tights have been keeping it all warm.

I live opposite the local school playing fields- not the most suitable look!

Tights?!

Man-sock isn't redundant just yet then!

I've skipped out on the yellow thing just for now. Got a red/grey top and I'm sure I've got a hi-vis around. Completed the Santa Dash on Sunday. Awesome fun

How do people cope with winter? Bit worried about trying to run in these icy conditions. Don't want to wait till winter's over as the half marathon is in March.
