What to Wear Running

Dress for Success
Here’s a cheat sheet to help you dress appropriately for your runs, no matter what the thermometer says. This chart factors in the 10-Degree Rule but doesn’t account for a significant windchill. On very windy days, you may need to dress warmer.
TEMP (in degrees)	BASIC APPAREL
above 70	Lightweight/light-colored singlet and shorts
60 to 69	Tank top or singlet and shorts
50 to 59	T-shirt and shorts
40 to 49	Long-sleeve shirt and tights or shorts
30 to 39	Long-sleeve shirt and tights
20 to 29	Two upper-body layers and one lower-body layer
10 to 19	Two upper-body layers and one lower-body layer
0 to 9	Two/three upper-body layers, one/two lower-body layers
below 0	Three upper-body layers, two lower-body layers

Rules for running

The 10-Percent Rule
Increase weekly training mileage by no more than 10 percent per week.

The 2-Hour Rule
Wait for about two hours after a meal before running.

The 10-Minute Rule
Start every run with 10 minutes of walking and slow running, and do the same to cool down.

The 2-Day Rule
If something hurts for two straight days while running, take two days off.

The Conversation Rule
You should be able to talk in complete sentences while running.

A recent study found that runners whose heart and breathing rates were within their target aerobic zones could comfortably recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Those who couldn't were running faster than optimal.

The Left-Side-Of-The-Road Rule
To keep safe, run facing traffic.

The New-Shoes Rule
Replace running shoes once they've covered 400 to 500 miles.

The 10-Degree Rule
Dress for runs as if it's 10 degrees warmer than the thermometer actually reads
