At the beginning of January, many people made the good resolution to get back to sport, and in particular to outdoor running. From the head


For thirty years, Jean-Pierre Giorgi has been running marathons or ultra-trails all over the world.

But the Marseille native, vice-president of the Runnosphere blogger community, has made Île-de-France his playground. His favorite spots?

The Bois de Clamart (Hauts-de-Seine) and the Cité Universitaire, in the 14th arrondissement.

He gives us his advice for finding the best winter gear.

“The three-layer rule forms the basis of your winter outfit on the upper body, insulated from the cold and humidity, begins the runner.

The first layer, called "base layer" and in direct contact with the skin, provides comfort and evacuation.

Avoid cotton in favor of a technical material like that of the Spiridon t-shirt (Spiridon-store.com) which wicks away perspiration towards the second layer.

It is what will keep you warm, so adapt it precisely to the activity.

The windbreaker forms the third.

Breathable or waterproof, it does the heavy lifting.

I recommend the model from the Parisian brand Bodycross (Shop-bodycross.com).

"The head, hands and feet are vulnerable because the blood vessels are smaller there," continues Jean-Pierre Giorgi.

For the skull, opt for a Spiridon beanie, in organic cotton, or a Buff neck warmer (Buff.com), a fabric tube that can be used as a beanie, easy to slip into a pocket.

For the feet, the most sensitive will appreciate merino wool socks, but you can also opt for the Marathon des Sables model, from the Rywan brand (Rywan.com).

“As for shoes, choose specialized stores which will determine the model best suited to your practice, your morphology and your budget, advises the marathon runner.

I own a pair of Nike carbon, and the energy return is quite amazing, a gain of 4% on intense effort.

The Sonic model from Salomon (Salomon.com) is also good value for money.

There remains the most delicate point, the hands... Choose a pair of gloves that are neither too hot nor too cold.

All equipment manufacturers offer them.
