The key is layering. I usually wear a wicking base layer tank and undies, then a long sleeve thermal type top and a wind resistant jacket and lined running pants. I like running jackets with zippered underarms for ventilation.

You lose 70% of your body heat thru your extremities on a cold run so a good ribbed knit cap and some light vapor dry gloves should round out the ensemble to keep you nice and toasty.

Use the jacket zippers to regulate your body heat and never take your hat hat off, iced hair is not good.

I love running in the winter!

Do you guys suggest any specific brand of something? or should i just grab some normal "skii" clothes and lay em on and just get out there?

Layers and make sure that it is wicking material. I enjoy the very cold runs. Also be careful breathing in sub-zero air. I'll start with some thin material over my nose and mouth - once get going can pull it down - tho, especially helpful when heading into a strong wind.

I use a polypropylene (pants and chest) base to wick away sweat - cotton gets cold fast. I try to get this tight, but don't get it so tight that it restricts movement and more importantly, breathing.

Then I’ll put on some pants with gortex/nylon to keep the wind out, I also try to keep this fitted. You will probably want a gortex/nylon jacket also fitted.

Hat- whatever you like, I prefer ear muff like things because I have plenty of hair and I get to warm with a hat.

Gloves- many companies make running gloves, I bought some from Nike last night.

If your feet sweat a lot socks would be a good investment too, make sure they wick away your sweat.

Get a mask for really cold days. Breathing through your nose is also nice because your nose warms the air more then your mouth does.

If you are still cold they do make insulated pants and you could put on something inbetween the poly base and gortex jacket. Running has always been enough to keep me warm though.

Or you could find and indoor track :p

Minnesota is a bit warming then that, but that's my advice.

Check out Hind and Sugoi as well as Illuminite. I have two different weight Hind pants that are really nice, both are windproof and one is heavyweight but moveable and breathable, which were perfect for -10F running in the Utah winters. Getting a core baselayer sleeveless top is a good start and then picking a good thermal long sleeve and a wind proof and water resistant to water proof jacket. For gloves I always wore a thinner lightweight but warm liner with a pair of waterproof, windproof mits that i could take on and off depending on how warm I got. Find a running store and just start trying stuff on. Some of the nordic ski companies that make apparel have some good shells and pants too.

Another good rule of thumb...dress as if it's 20 degrees warmer.
