Winter running
Should you find yourself hill running all year round, you might find that a lightweight running-specific waterproof doesn't quite offer enough protection. During the winter months, a lightweight climbing or hiking waterproof shell jackets can be used.

Your feet go through a lot when running and should be cared for so running socks are more important than you might think. The right pair will keep your feet feeling good with every stride, the wrong pair can leave you pulling out mid-race. Running socks with a merino wool blend, are excellent at regulating temperature, while synthetic socks are particularly great at wicking away excess moisture.
