As a guide, I tend to wear a t-shirt or technical top if over 10 degrees and a long-sleeve top between 5-10 degrees. The gloves go on if below 5 degrees and extra layer or two if below freezing. It's great to enjoy a run and the surroundings. When usually there's a training aspect or the mileage starts cranking up, you miss a lot of nature. Too often, I set off in the dark and the next minute it's daylight - totally missing the dawn chorus and the sunrise.

The rain relented and then stopped but the force 6 SE wind was bent on slowing me down. Once I turned up the beach, I was turbo assisted but strayed into some very soft, waterlogged sand and had to kick one foot out of the mire.

Firm sand is a joy to run on but my head torch is essential in avoiding any flotsam or jetsam on the beach! 4 miles, very steadily done.
