It is difficult to motivate yourself during winter to go out running or cycling. With the cold, wind and rain, not to mention the possibility of snow and ice, the last thing many people want to do is go outside. If you do choose to go out, then you should make sure that you’re kitted out to keep you warm and protected from the elements.
Gore running wear is specially designed to fit like a second skin, moving with your body to give you the best fit you could ask for. The polypropylene material will ensure you stay warm and dry as the material draws the moisture away from the skin. Your safety is paramount whilst doing any kind of exercise outside in the dark, so think about choosing a bright colored jacket or trousers with reflectors from the Gore clothing range which will make sure you’re seen by vehicles and other road users.
Leaving a nice, warm house to go running is tough, but giving yourself goals will help give you the push to go out. The goal could be a charity run, maybe increasing your distance by a mile every few weeks or even shifting a few pounds before Christmas. By repeating these goals like a mantra, this will give you the motivation. A running partner will also help to get you motivated when you really don’t feel like it.
Getting the motivation to go out in the dark can be hard, but being prepared and having the right clothing will give the boost to go out.
