I took my hoodie off to warm up for Saturday’s Parkrun, and 200m later rushed back to the car to put it back on – where it stayed till just before the start!

On Sunday I got caught out by the changing clocks and the much earlier evening, and had to tweak my long run to avoid unlit country lanes… and still there were sections when I had to run by the light of my headtorch!

And this morning I had to de-ice the car; the thermometer read -0.5 C as I drove to work.

Extra layers, early darkness and frosty mornings… Welcome to winter running peeps!
