Running kit for cold, wet and rainy days in autumn and winter

Chuck this on for a short run in wet weather or roll it up and carry it in the accompanying zip pocket to take it with you during longer runs in unpredictable British weather. You can adjust the waist to limit swishing during runs and the reflective light makes it a smart choice for low light.

Not only are these leggings made from recycled material that keeps you warm, they also come with FlashDry technology that wicks sweat away quickly. Plus, reflective details keep you visible if you’re out running on dark mornings or evenings.

The North Face Winter Warm Leggings, £70

This light-weight fabric is temperature regulating to keep you warm without overheating. We also love the mesh panels to keep air flowing around the areas that need it most (read: armpits) and thumbholes stop any annoying riding up on the arms.

The inner support on our running shoes is crucial, but in the wet weather it’s just as important to think about the outside layer and opt for optimum grip. These Adidas trainers have a great sole for stable outdoor running.
