I took this picture on a recovery run last night. It was so clear out that I had to stop for a quick picture.

Quality gloves and hats are more important than pants and jackets. I can run in just about any pants and jacket but I have at least 5 different thicknesses and brands of gloves and hats I use for different temperatures. For the coldest windiest long runs I use Arc’Teryx mittens with glove liners under them.
It’s probably “possible” to run in just about anything, but I personally just don’t enjoy it when I have to wear so many layers that I’m weighted down. For me that’s about 0F or -18C. Below that I usually run inside. Not because I physically can’t dress for that cold but because I just kind of don’t enjoy running outside in it anymore because I’m wearing so much crap.
I have a strong stomach but a weak mind. I’ve never felt sick during a beer mile, but I’ve often slowed down or given up because the thought or sprinting another lap just sucks too much.
