It was crazy how much difference the minor form tweaks improved my speed as well as reduced a little ache in one of my knees that waxes and wanes throughout runs (actually just all the time).
I'm pretty certain I need new shoes. I have a toenail that is almost black and quite painful. The internet says that means my shoes are a little too small. Probably for the best as they are trail running shoes and the majority of my running is on the road.
Good job on the 7 miles, I am lucky to get 2 miles in lately.
What type of shoes are you using now?
Do you tend to splay your toes when you stride? If you get good heal lockdown it may be worth going up 1/2 size

I was using Patagonia trail running shoes. I went out and got some Hokas and it’s a whole new world. I also went up a size, based on some foot computer that the store had me stand on. I don’t know what I do with my toes, but I’ll pay attention tomorrow on my run!

goroth wrote:Yep. Winter running ftw. Good gear means you can run in anything, though if it is under 0 (32 F) I'll take a backpack with a down jacket in it just in case something happens. Sweat and subzero temperatures is bad.

I normally gradually remove layers as my body warms up. But it's really important to start off with plenty of clothes so you don't stiffen up and get too cold. It's not super cold where I live though so I'm only talking about -5/10C at worst.

So my leather catsuit is a definite "NO" then....

i've been using normal running gloves (that are good down to 0-ish) and then putting water/windproof mitts over the top. This seems to work better than thicker gloves that end up getting sweaty.
Windproof underwear (6-inch legs or longer) is important. I don't like running in thicker tights because I sweat a lot in them, but I get really cold thighs in normal tights. I'm still not 100% happy, I might get some shorts to wear over the top of the underwear and tights.
I also find that heavy jackets aren't much fun (there's a pattern here it seems). So I tend to wear a singlet/tank, long sleeve, t-shirt and then a lighter jacket. If my core is warm then that usually does the job.
