GEAR UP FOR COOLER RUNS WITH THIS 2018 FALL RUNNING GEAR

Fall is the ideal time to put your running shoes on and hit re-dial on the running routine.  With changing leaves come changing temperatures, and for the active types this is often a welcome sign. 

With a little intestinal fortitude and a kick in the butt, this time of year can present itself with some of the best opportunities to kiss the dad-bod goodbye and hit the trail with a blaze.   

If you’ve been diligent in sticking to your running routine it may be a good time to start covering longer runs as the days start to get a little shorter and you start to catch that first whiff of fall air. 

Being prepared for this cooler weather is a must, and we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite gear to keep you blazing a trail through the chill.

Ideal Running Shoes & Footwear

With damp leaves all around, it may be time to reevaluate your footwear. 

Your summer running shoes by now may have seen better days and have probably logged their fair share of ‘dog day’ summer miles. 

There’s no question a new pair of trail running shoes will go a long way for a more comfortable run.

Cloudline Merino Wool Socks

Cloudline Merino Wool Socks

It’s easy to overlook your sock game when it comes to running, but the CloudLine Merino Wool Socks may have just given us a reason to change our mind. 

Merino Wool is different than your typical sock in that it’s not coarse and itchy like other wool socks.  It comes from a special species of sheep that produces very fine, soft wool. 

The end result is that Merino Wool socks are able to retain all of the great features of wool and alleviate overheating and thickness issues often associated with traditional socks.
