A good read.
Don't forget the waterproof socks!

Agreed (on both) Wharfee lad. Some really useful (and sensible) advice from Ben
Absolutely love the Strava Christmas tree! (And am quite partial to the odd bacon and egg butty!)
Not a bad read, but can`t agree on pounding pavements that for me is my worst nightmare and a sure way of losing my fell legs,( I have a good headtorch and still pound the hills morning and night), and actually find the challenge that winter presents a lot more satisfying than running in the other three seasons, especially when there is snow and ice and just tightening your running shoes is not enough (and Ice axe + kathoolas or similar are needed)
Nor can I agree on merino as I find that synthetic fabrics seem to wick better than merino wool on me and I find that merino stays wetter longer than synthetics on me, however kit is always subjective.
As for motivation I love life, Hills and the outdoors these coupled with my collie provide all the motivation I need to get out and run or dare I say it sometimes walk;)
But then I am not in Ben Mounseys league so I guess it is each to there own.
