The shorts might still be out, but who’s had to add a pair of gloves or a hat to their run this week?

We definitely have. Legs might still be braving the chill, but extra layers are fast making an appearance before heading out the door.

Whether you're sticking with shorts and just need a few smart accessories to keep hands and ears warm, or you're ready to switch to a thermal long-sleeved top to cut through the wind, don’t let the cold make your miles harder than they need to be.

Highlights from last week’s SAYSKY Sub Rosa race, hosted at our Run4It Edinburgh Lothian store.

Most runs come with certainty: a set route, a familiar distance, a target pace, and a rough idea of when you’ll be home. Sub Rosa strips all of that away.

No fixed course, no predictable finish time - just checkpoints across iconic Edinburgh landmarks, cobbled streets, city hills, urban navigation, and the dark.

The photos capture it all: that buzz of anticipation right before the first checkpoint was revealed, fingers pointing in different directions as runners made route decisions, the restless energy at each stop, and the grind through the streets in between.

Running is demanding enough as it is, but going flat out through the dark with no course to follow is something else.

Massive well done to every runner who stepped up to the challenge, and a huge thank you to SAYSKY

Waterproof running shoes are the answer for runners and walkers looking to keep their feet dry and warm while securing reliable grip on slick surfaces.

Traditional waterproof shoes can often feel stiff or restrictive. The models in our line-up feature a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper, which bonds the waterproof membrane directly to the shoe's outer material. This delivers total weather defence without compromising the shoe's natural ride.

The benefits:

✅True-to-standard fit: retains the exact shape, toe-box room, and natural flex of the non-waterproof model.

✅Total weather defence: fully waterproof and windproof to protect against cold rain, puddles, and wind chill.

✅Balanced breathability: built specifically for running – letting sweat vapour escape while preventing the upper from soaking up water and gaining weight.

Explore our range of GORE-TEX road and trail shoes to find your perfect pair.

https://www.run4it.com/collections/gore-tex-running-shoes

👟 HOKA Clifton 11 GTX & Brooks Ghost 18 GTX: best for everyday road miles when you need maximum comfort in wet conditions.

👟 HOKA Challenger 8 GTX: the ideal road-to-trail hybrid for routes that transition between tarmac and hard-packed trails, though it’s equally suited to road running alone.

👟 Saucony Guide TR GTX: the go-to choice if you need additional support across mixed terrain.

👟 Altra Lone Peak 9+ GTX: zero-drop, foot-shaped protection built for a variety of surfaces, including technical trails and steep ascents and descents.

Ronhill was founded on the refusal to let bleak British weather cancel a run. That exact mindset runs right through their clothing collection.

Here’s what we’re reaching for this season when the cold bites and the gusts pick up:

1️⃣Tech Winter ½ Zip - best worn next to the skin or layered under a shell. The waffle-like structure traps warm air to regulate your core temperature without overheating, helping you stay warm in low temperatures.

2️⃣Tech Wind-Block Jacket - completely windproof and highly water-resistant, built with high-stretch fabric for total freedom of movement. Best layered straight over a short-sleeve or long-sleeve tee.

Or, when the skies properly open:

Tech Storm Jacket - full waterproof protection paired with high breathability. That means you stay dry from the outside without soaking from the inside when pushing the pace in wet weather.

Don’t let the forecast dictate your winter training. Explore the full range at run4it.com or pop into your nearest Run4It shop to feel the fabrics in person and dial in your layers.

You can now shop the HOKA Clifton 11 GTX and HOKA Challenger 8 GTX, alongside their standard versions.

The benefit of the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper is simple: keep your feet dry while retaining the fit and feel you’d expect from the standard model.

👟Clifton 11 GTX
For steady, slower-paced road training when the pavements are wet and slippery. It combines a waterproof upper with a water-repellent treatment, traction pods and sticky rubber in the forefoot for added grip. The shoe features a speed-lace with toggle, however a standard lace is also included in the box.

👟Challenger 8 GTX
Ideal for road runs, trails runs, or both. You get the same multi-directional 4mm lugs as the standard Challenger 8, alongside a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper and a protective toe cap for added durability and protection on the trail.

Ready for the season ahead? There are a few unmistakable signs that autumn has arrived: your hands getting colder on morning runs, seeing your breath in the crisp air, and that familiar post-run red nose.

In retail, we start preparing long before the weather changes, ensuring we offer the right gear for whatever training you do in various conditions. Seeing it all come together - alongside the incredible energy from helping runners at recent autumn events - means motivation is running high as we head deeper into the season.

Through conversations with runners in our stores, we get a front-row seat to their thoughts and experiences. Being at the heart of an event like the Loch Ness Marathon and seeing first-hand the impact it has on the community is one of the highlights of our year.

Every achievement matters. Everyone comes to running with their own abilities and aspirations, and we want to help runners carry that spirit into the colder months.

Swipe ⬅️

As the days grow shorter and the weather turns colder, getting out may not always be easy. But we know how much staying active can add to your day. Whatever your routine looks like as the seasons change, we're here to help you stay motivated, warm and comfortable with the right head-to-toe gear.

The SAYSKY Tiger Grind collection returns with an all-over black tiger camo print across the men’s pieces, complemented by a unique grey tiger graphic.

When the alarm goes off in the dark and the temperature drops, showing up requires some extra grit. This is what the Tiger Grind range celebrates: the relentless mindset and drive to keep moving and hustle through the darker runs.

This collection brings together SAYSKY’s best-in-class running apparel for every kind of training.

https://www.run4it.com/collections/saysky

Here’s our recommendation for how to layer the styles:

♂ Men’s Tiger Pace Jacket
Lightweight wind protection for cooler, dry runs. Layer it over a long- or short-sleeve top as temperatures drop. The tiger graphic is reflective for additional visibility for low-light runs.

♂ Men’s Tiger Combat T-Shirt
Lightweight and breathable, with a fabric designed to minimise wet cling. Ideal for higher-intensity sessions, indoor training and milder days.

♂ Men’s Tiger Pace 2-in-1 Shorts
Built for freedom of movement, with supportive inner tights and plenty of storage for fuel. A versatile choice for longer training runs, race day and warmer sessions.

♀ Women’s Tiger Pace Half Zip
A breathable, midweight layer that helps regulate body temperature when conditions get cooler. This top should offer soft next-to-skin thanks to the soft fabric inside. Wear it alone or under a jacket when needed.

🐯 All men's styles feature an all-over black tiger camo print, giving the collection its distinctive look. The unique grey tiger graphic is features on all pieces, with a reflective finish on the men's Tiger Pace Jacket for added visibility in low-light conditions.

There’s definitely a chill in the air on those morning and evening runs, with temperatures dropping to between 5 and 10 degrees.

First 26.2 in the books! 🎉

That first one is always special. Huge congratulations to Louie and Sandie from our Glasgow team, who both completed their first marathon at Loch Ness Marathon last weekend! Their finish-line energy said it all - so proud to see all those weeks of training pay off (and word on the street is Sandie is already eyeing up another one 👀).

A massive shoutout to everyone we met at the Expo and across the weekend. However your race went, you crossed that line and completed a marathon. What an achievement. 👏

Meet the Ronhill Tech Reflect Lux collection - featuring premium black reflectivity 🌒

How does it work?
The Tech Reflect Lux collection features a black reflective dot print that's discreet by day, but comes alive when light hits it – becoming extremely visible in low-light conditions.

We think this is one of the best reflective collections ever made. Unlike traditional reflective prints, it stays soft and flexible - meaning zero trade-offs when it comes to comfort and fit.

Day running or runs in the dark? You don't have to choose. With no need to swap gear, we think these versatile pieces belong in every runner's wardrobe this season.

Discover the full collection in our 7 stores and online at run4it.com.

🌟Tech Reflect Lux Jacket: both jackets feature the signature collection print, but they are engineered for distinct weather conditions.

♂ Mens’: Windproof, water-resistant 3-layer Sirocco softshell built for cold, wet, and windy days.
♀ Women’s: Soft thermal lining providing lightweight warmth for cool and mild conditions.

🌟Tech Reflect Lux L/S: Super-lightweight, temperature-regulating mesh delivering maximum freedom of movement and signature Lux collection reflectivity.

🌟Tech Reflect Lux Tight (♀): perfect when you want lightweight, full-leg coverage that wards off the chill without trapping heat.

🌟Men’s Tech Reflect Lux Short (♂): ideal for milder days or high-intensity sessions when you need maximum breathability.

Stand out in the dark.
