You can run outdoors all winter long — and even come to love it! (OK, at the very least, embrace it.)
I stopped by downtown Traverse City’s Running Fit to record this week’s show. It was so much fun talking winter running and outdoor exploring with Marc McCombs, store manager, and Alison Goss, assistant manager. Both are lifelong runners and longtime Running Fit team members who share their tips and tricks for staying warm and safe in Michigan’s cold, snowy and icy conditions.

Starting with socks (“Cotton is rotten”) and shoes (hear why trail shoes can be a great option in certain winter conditions), we also cover the must-have clothing layers for outdoor running adventures. Marc and Alison share the latest gear and other essentials available. Jonny and I also chime in with our own winter running experiences. You’ll get head-to-toe ideas for getting out there and enjoying both the elements and your running this time of year.
