    For us northern hemisphere folks fall has arrived and with it have come cooler temps and fading daylight hours.  Many of us run year round.  Running in the fall and early winter poses some unique challenges like widely varying temperatures, lowlight conditions, high winds, and potentially slippery streets. 

     

    Let's share some tips on how to conquer the challenges of running in the fall.

    Yeah, please help.  I am new to fall/winter running and don't want to stop what I have started.  I have lost ~25 lbs since April and am actually enjoying getting up at 6am to run 5 miles!  Need help on gear selection though.

    Thanks,

    Reuben

    Hi Ruben!  I think this was posted twice.  I answered the other.  Again, I use an amphipod reflector belt with a Petzel Tikka headlamp and a Frog flashing red light on the back of the headlamp band.  That way cars can see me coming and going.  At 4am I feel drivers who are half asleep need a flashing light to get them to pay attention.

    I would be careful on streets with a lot of fallen leaves that hide stuff that you normally try to avoid - large cracks your feet can actually get caught in , uprooted sections of the sidewalk, badly aligned grids and valves, icy patches... I tripped on one of those small aqueduct valves that just stuck out 1/2" that was covered by leaves. It was enough to cause me to fall flat on my knees and elbows. I was bloodied and shaken enough that it affected my running for close to 2 months...
