Intro: Andy’s video from The FOD Runner, WINTER Running GEAR Review With SOAR RUNNING - The BEST WINTER RUNNING GEAR?, walks through a winter setup over a tough 16-mile route. Below are the key takeaways so you can use his workout structure yourself.

Key points:

• Andy runs 16 miles through snow and sub-zero temperatures with strong winds, showing how the Soar kit performs in those conditions.
• The kit: an all-weather jacket, a lighter layering jacket, and wind-resistant tights with secure (no-bounce) pockets.
• Useful tips: layer the lighter jacket under the all-weather shell when moderately cold. Use thumb-hole sleeves to avoid chafing on the hands. Partially unzip the tights to get them on without struggling at the ankles.

Workout example:

• 16-mile run with a tempo-building structure:
  • Miles 1-4 at 7:30 min/mi (about 4:40 min/km)
  • Miles 5-8 at 7:10 min/mi (about 4:26 min/km)
  • Miles 9-12 at 6:50 min/mi (about 4:14 min/km)
  • Miles 13-16 at 6:30 min/mi (about 4:02 min/km)
• Run flat industrial loops. The focus is staying warm and protected, not max speed.

Closing note: Get your winter gear together, follow Andy’s pacing structure, and use the Pacing app to adjust the splits for your fitness. Solid gear shows its value when you’re out for long miles in cold, gusty weather.
