Running in 0* for 1st time tomorrow - how many layers should I wear?

 

I've never run in anything below 25, but tomorrow I'm going to try to run outdoors, even though the WC will be 0.  I don't have any kind of special running suit for super-cold weather, but I do have one pair UA Coldgear running pants, and one LS UA Coldgear shirt.  i have some other running pants, and some LS cotton T-shirts.  I have wool socks, hats, neck gaiter, etc.

 

 

How many layers would be appropriate for this type of weather?  Any suggestions or advice would be really appreciated.  TIA!

I'd do 3 layers of UA.  I find even on the outer layer cotton retains moisture.  Here in Md, mercifully, I don't have to do 0 wind chill.....

 

 

Good luck.
