Run from the heat of summer to the chill of fall and winter with ease, transitioning your wardrobe as you go.
Fall is arguably one of the best times of the year to run outside. The air is brisk, the leaves are changing and best of all, it’s free! While we love a SoulCycle or Barry’s class once in a while, running outside is a great way to stay in shape on a budget since you don’t have to pay for a membership fee at a gym or wait for an open treadmill.
Instead, the only things you’ll need for a good run outside are the clothes on your back (fleece-lined leggings anyone?), the shoes on your feet and maybe a few accessories to keep you going.
Read on for a list of the best running gear to have on hand this fall and winter, satisfying legging lovers, track stars, fast walkers and everything in-between.
Brands include lululemon, Allbirds, Hoka, New Balance, Gymshark, Under Armor and more.
