As we near the end of 2024, it’s time to look ahead to the new year. One of our favorite features to share at the beginning of the year is a review of Tracksmith’s No Days Off Collection. We received great feedback in 2023 and 2024 about how this collection not only offers great performance but also keeps you motivated all year round.
Chicago winters can be tough, and training through them can be daunting. The No Days Off collection embodies consistency and solidarity with your fellow runners.
No Days Off is our annual reminder to stay consistent. It emphasizes the importance of practice, not necessarily in terms of daily distance, but in the habits that contribute to our larger goals. It requires unwavering dedication to a routine that supports the commitment to becoming a better runner. Winter poses the toughest challenge to our determination, and the No Days Off Collection is designed to help you face those challenges. With every Tracksmith purchase, you’ll receive a free 2025 NDO Poster to inspire you to set new goals for the upcoming year, while supplies last. – Tracksmith Website
The insulated Harbor Jacket is designed to keep you warm in the cold without restricting your movement. Quilted to enhance thermoregulation, it features PrimaLoft® Gold insulation, a lightweight insulation known for its performance. The jacket also includes an innovative back vent lined with 2:09 Mesh for breathability, with a weather-resistant shell to ensure you can run comfortably in cold weather. –Tracksmith Website
The NDO tights, available for men and women, are a staple in my winter running collection. These double-layered, wind-blocking high-rise tights include reflective details, essential for dark, cold conditions with limited daylight hours and often overcast skies.
What sets these tights apart is their wind-blocking feature and convenient pocket placement. Envelope pockets on the rear allow easy storage without removing mittens, while a zippered pocket keeps your phone and keys secure.
New to the collection this year is the NDO running bib. This bib is designed for extreme cold with a sleek, one-piece silhouette that seamlessly transitions into full-length tights. It’s made from a warm double knit Merino blend with mesh details utilizing 37.5® Technology. This innovative design simplifies layering, allowing you to comfortably tuck in your base layer and stash away gloves as needed, all without struggling with your gear.
To complete the collection, there is a hat, ear warmer, and mittens—all essential for winter runs in Chicago. The NDO 2 in 1 mitten is a personal favorite for chilly days.
This 2-in-1 mitten is the warmest option for winter running, combining an outer mitten with interior nylon gloves for maximum warmth during your run.
Start the new year by treating yourself to new running gear that will motivate you through any conditions. Thank you, Tracksmith, for creating a collection that serves as a reminder to stay consistent and healthy in your habits for 2025.
Happy New Year, Chicago Athletes. Let’s kick off the year on the right foot—be it left or right, we value them both equally.
