3) A WATERPROOF JACKET

When it comes to exercising outdoors, there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. Keeping your extremities warm with a hat and gloves is a good idea, but having a breathable wind and waterproof jacket can make all the difference in determining whether you get out the front door or remain on the sofa.

One of the best is the new Salomon Go Paclite jacket, £150 (pictured). It's made from the lightest available Gore-Tex fabric, so it's properly waterproof but lightweight and breathable. It's also nicely styled, slightly tailored and long enough to prevent kidney chill. The hood stays up even when you're running and the sleeves have Velcro fastenings to stop them riding up.
