Amp up your workouts with the perfect fall running gear

It's time to start switching over to warm-weather running gear.  (iStock )

As the leaves change and the air gets crisper, you need to change up your running gear for a more comfortable run. Fall brings a unique set of challenges for those who love to hit the pavement or the trails. The fluctuating temperatures, shorter days, and the constantly changing weather require more than just some shorts and a t-shirt.

Finding the right combination of breathability, insulation and visibility in your fall running gear can help you run longer. Whether it's a moisture-wicking base layer to keep you dry, a reflective jacket for those early evening jogs, or a new pair of trail shoes for the changing terrain, the appropriate running gear helps you focus and makes your run smoother.

Here’s the right running gear to get you through summer and into fall.

Stay dry during rainy running seasons.  (Nike)

Fall means rain in most parts of the country, so a reliable jacket that’s still comfortable to run in can keep you comfortable. Nike has a men’s water-wicking rain jacket made from 100% recycled materials. Nike also has a women’s partially cropped rain jacket that’s midweight, so it’ll keep you warm during colder weather runs.
