Running shoes are a very personal decision but if you are buying for someone taking up running seriously the Asics Gel Nimbus 22 are a top quality choice. With neutral balance they suit most runners and give perfect balance of cushioning and light weight.

Salomon Wildcross trail shoes

A lovely well made shoe that offers something for people who mid-foot strike or need a wider toe box than the Salomon Speedcross. Lovely to wear pretty much straight out the box across all road surfaces. Perfect trail shoe for winter running.

Read our review of the Salomon Wildcross for more information on these trail shoes.

Zone3 RX3 winter compression tights

Wear tights/leggings so you have compression throughout your legs.  In colder temperatures this makes more sense than not shorts as it helps to keep muscles warm at all times and the reality of a limited warm-up.

Buff multi-function headgear

Wrap up snug with a neck warmer.  We’re not talking here about a Doctor Who scarf but a genuine running aid to keep the cold wind from creeping into your clothes through your neck.

Under Armour Sport mask

Coming in various sizes is the Under Armour sport mask as we all embrace wearing face masks more than ever before.

Ron Hill Running gloves

Wear gloves, particularly if you suffer from poor circulation as blood flow in the hands can suffer while running so can significantly affect your running comfort. Ron Hill offer supreme warmth and smart fingertip touchscreen device capability for those who can’t put down their smart phones. Top quality essential items for winter running.

Balega Second skin ultralight no show Running Socks

Choose your socks carefully.  Paying for quality socks in winter is hugely important with the need to retain heat while also being able release heat and reduce on retained sweat. While more than £10 for a pair of socks might sound steep it is well worth it. I have owned a number of pairs of these and from the first run in them you can feel the benefit that you get from it and protection for your feet.

Exposure HT1000 HeadTorch

Shine bright like a diamond and get a head torch.  If you are sick of running under low quality LED street lighting you might be venturing off-road in low light.  Extend your running opportunities by lighting up your path with a head torch. The Exposure HT1000 pushes out up to 1000 lumens for absolute clarity and safety while running.

Nike Run Division Long-sleeved running shirt

Nikes latest range of long sleeved tops for men and women feature their breathable materials with a half zip neck for comfort while running. Having used the various historic versions of the Nike long sleeve top this is one of our top picks. Comfortable and stylish for winter running.

Running armband for mobile phone

While we all love the feeling of running freely on a beach with the sun on our face the reality is rain and wind on a November evening. To help keep your running going through winter there is nothing better than taking your phone and plugging into “Epic Running Playlist”. Having a lightweight armband to save you from clutching your phone means you can relatively run without impact.
