Winter running clothes.ave

Well, the colder weather is here for me and I don't really have any warm athletic clothes. I usually wear some cheap running shorts and an old t shirt that work run/workout in. Any suggestions for moderately priced clothes and where to get them? It gets really windy in Kansas so I'm looking for something thats sort of fitted.

Keep an eye on http://www.runningwarehouse.com/.
They have some good sales.

I just wear track pants and a variety of shirts, depending on temp. I have long running underwear for when its really cold, I have a pair of lined track pants and a lined long sleeve shirt too.

On a typical winter day, I'll wear the lined track pants, lined shirt, a cool max shirt and a sweat shirt over top. When it's around freezing, two thin shirts, regular track pants and a sweat shirt.

When it's really cold, long underwear, lined pants, lined shirt with two other shirts and a polar fleece overcoat.

Thanks, that site could be trouble for me, might be spending some money there.

Nothing better than a good fitting pair of running tights. I buy all my stuff from Runningwarehouse.com, and I love my Saucony pants (for the couple times a year I need them).

Target's Champions gear is actually really good. I wear it all the time for winter soccer. Lightweight, wind proof to an extent, and most importantly, warm.

I just bought a pair of champion running shorts from target and they are just as good as the Nikes I got for twice the price at sports authority. I'd imagine their warmer weather stuff is good.

In regards to tops I would recommend the Adidas climacool long sleeve shirts. I play soccer three times a week outdoors, in Oregon no getting away from the rain wind or cold, and with these shirts they keep me warm and dry. I swear by these because there is some much of a difference when I use them vs not. They are around 24 dollars I believe on Adidas.com

Unfortunately my legs are very big, not by choice or my doing. If I wore tights they'd either break or constrict my circulation so much I won't be able to run. Thanks for the tips guys. The weather went from highs of 70s to 40s and low 50s.

You can buy very stretchy long underwear. I routinely wear them when it gets really cold underneath some standard issue track pants.

A lot of work wear stores here have some good outerwear and some athletic clothing.

I think you'd be surprised. I have a very...rotund lower half despite all my weight loss. My NB tights are very comfy.

I have a couple of Under Armour style long sleeve cold weather shirts by Tek Gear that I got at Kohl's for $20 each IIRC. They work great. I layer with them though--short sleeve under it, windbreaker over it. Kept me warm on a 43 degree bike ride yesterday. \:\)
