WINTER Running GEAR Review With SOAR RUNNING - The BEST WINTER RUNNING GEAR? | FOD Runner - The FOD Runner

Intro: This is a quick summary of WINTER Running GEAR Review With SOAR RUNNING - The BEST WINTER RUNNING GEAR? from The FOD Runner. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

  • Andy runs 16 mi (≈25.7 km) in snow, sub‑zero temps and gale‑force wind, showing how the Soar kit keeps him warm.
  • The kit includes an all‑weather jacket, a lighter inner jacket, and long, wind‑blocking tights with secure pockets that prevent bounce.
  • Practical tips: layer the lighter jacket under the all‑weather shell for milder cold, use the thumb‑hole sleeves to avoid hand chafing, and zip‑unzip the tights to get them on without ankle swing.

Workout Example:

  • 16‑mile (≈25.7 km) run with a progressive pace:
    • First 4 mi @ 7:30 min/mi (≈4:40 min/km)
    • Next 4 mi @ 7:10 min/mi (≈4:26 min/km)
    • Next 4 mi @ 6:50 min/mi (≈4:14 min/km)
    • Final 4 mi @ 6:30 min/mi (≈4:02 min/km)
  • Run on flat industrial loops; the focus is staying warm and protected rather than speed work.

Closing Note: Grab your own winter kit, set the same pace progression, and customize the paces in the Pacing app to match your fitness. Try the run today and feel the difference a solid gear system can make on cold, windy miles!
