Running can be the difference between a happy or sad winter. Research reveals that running outdoors is one of the best ways to banish the traditional winter blues because runners benefit from increased feel-good hormones. Being outside for at least 20 minutes in daylight each day is also a recipe for enhanced mental well-being.
Added to this, runners benefit from an enhanced immune system, which helps them to see off colds and flu.
But running through the winter does require a few items of warmer clothing. Perhaps you’ll treat yourself to new fitness clothing, such as running tights, long-sleeved running tops and waterproof jackets, or why not buy your favourite runner a great running gift for Christmas?
