As I was searching around, I was amazed at the variety of information found on the site. Everything from purchasing the right mP3(something I'm currently in the market for) to eating right while training (something I need to work on). I came across an article titled "The 25 Golden Rules of Running." The article covers just about everything you can ever think of: shoes, recovery, diet, length of a run, intensity, tempo, and dress.
I found the "dress code" interesting. The article reads as follows:
Dress for runs as if it's 10 degrees warmer than the thermometer actually reads.
To put it another way, dress for how warm you'll feel at mid-run--not the first mile, when your body is still heating up. This means choosing the right apparel. "On cold days, the new soft-shell tops and tights are light, warm, and breathable," says Emily Walzer, fabrics editor for Sporting Goods Business Magazine. "On warm days, wear a lightweight performance fabric next to your skin, which will disperse sweat through evaporation."
Living in a rather cold climate, I don't get too excited about running with one long-sleeved shirt and a pair of long pants. I'm really glad it hasn't started snowing. As for now, I'll keep my two layers of clothing. I'd rather be running in warm clothes than laying in a warm bed.
