Ambitious athletes willdo their training outside at any weather but the appropriate equipment is suggested.

The motto is: Better to run a little slower, but have an eye on the ground. The best if you chose a well-known route for training and with this method you will be able to save your body and avoid potholes and other dangerous barriers. For a better grip on the ground, the running shoes must have a good profile, to keep of falls and running injuries. In darkness, you should select a route where the illumination is satisfying. At the same time it is necessary to ensure that others can see you. Lamps or reflectors on the jacket or vest aren’t trendy, but can save lives. Special, breathable synthetic underwear, light cotton gloves and a hat are indispensable parts of our running accessories in cold weather.
Whether you choose outdoor or indoor sports - both options have advantages and disadvantages. In cold seasons, the combination of an outdoor training with an alternative indoor sport can be the most effective.
