Moving from Florida to Colorado in early December, confirmed I was going to have to learn all over again what to wear running at every temperature! No longer was it shorts weather year round, but instead time to layer up correctly for winter running (and shoot Fall and Spring temps too).
Colorado’s winter weather is renowned for its capricious nature, oscillating between mild and temperate to bone-chilling cold winds within a day. The proper running attire can be your ally in the battle against the elements, ensuring that your runs remain safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.
Because I think we can all agree that getting the layers right makes it easier to convince ourselves it won’t be so bad when we step out the door.

In this comprehensive guide, I’ll explore the intricacies of what to wear running in the winter, with a particular focus on what to wear running at different temperatures. All right, let’s get on with finding you the right pieces for your adventure.
