The easiest way to categorise clothing is to separate it into summer and winter seasons - though in Britain the distinction is sometimes difficult to establish!
The aim when choosing clothing is to be as comfortable as possible whilst exercising hard outdoors. It is important not to be too hot and become dehydrated as this will affect performance. Equally, allowing the cold to penetrate will have a detrimental effect on a running performance.

This article gives you a brief guide to to construction of modern running shoes. If you are planning to begin a triaining programme, then initially any T-shirt and a pair of shots or leggings will do, at least initially, however tthis does not apply to shoes! If you do not know if you have a suitable pair of shoes ask a runner, or visit a specialist shop. Round Dundee, this means "The Dundee Runner" in Lochee, or "The Sweatshop" at Next Generation on the Arbroath Road in Monifieth. If you are in Edinburgh then "Run and Become" on Dalry Road is well worth the trip. -And ask about a pair of socks when you're there. One small blister can knock a big hole in your schedule!

Be strong: Runners work hard on training their legs, but you also need to workout your upper body and core stomach muscles to really improve your running. Start a simple daily strengthening routine - press-ups, arm curls, pull-ups, sit-ups. Do as many as you can and do them when you come back warm from your run. You should try to increase the number of repetitions of each exercise on a weekly basis.

Using a heart rate monitor allows you to stay focused and motivated on every run and encourages you to train smarter rather than harder because each session has more purpose. If, for example, it's a threshold session, such as a tempo run, you can increase your 'set distance' speed at the same heart rate. And since it's all too easy to get caught up in an over training cycle, wearing a HRM can limit how hard you train so that your body gets the vital recovery it needs.
