Thinking of taking up winter running? It may be cold out there, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying the great outdoors! If anything, winter can be one of the most inspiring times to get out and enjoy the beauty of nature around you. Plus, a cold weather run gives you that glorious excuse to enjoy a hot drink when you get home. Ideally seated around a fire with those you hold most dear!

That said, we thought you might need a bit of evidence first. We promise these 10 winter runners won’t disappoint and might just get you into winter running yourself!

OK, so we can’t exactly guarantee the northern lights on every winter run, especially if you’re based outside of the Article Circle. But just imagine seeing this out on a run!
