But there will be plenty of days for relegating yourself to indoor HIIT workouts once the snow starts to fly. To extend your outdoor training just that little bit longer, it's worth investing in quality cold-weather gear. Take Nike's Dri-FIT Essential Woven Pocket Running Pants. Not only will they ensure you stay warm as you munch through your daily miles, but they are also lightweight enough where they won't have you overheating. Any good running pant will do more than just the baseline though, and these feature a number of reflective hits for staying safe as the darkness comes earlier and earlier. Add to that a jogger-length cut and zippered pockets for your essentials and we wouldn't be surprised if your fall outdoor training was actually enjoyable.
