How to survive training for a marathon through winter (and what to buy)

That winter chill has officially arrived, but your running goals don't have to go into hibernation! ❄️ Staying motivated when it's cold is tough, but having the right strategy (and gear!) makes all the difference. Here are two game-changing tips to keep you moving: ✅ **Layer Like a Pro:** The biggest mistake we see? Running in a soggy cotton tee. Instead, start with a sweat-wicking base layer. It pulls moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and preventing that dreaded chill from setting in. It’s the foundation of a great winter run! ✅ **Warm-Up *Indoors*:** Don't waste precious warmth outside! Spend 5 minutes before you leave doing dynamic stretches like leg swings and high knees. Getting your blood flowing first makes that initial blast of cold air so much more tolerable. What's your go-to trick for staying warm on a winter run?
