Last night it was dark at 8pm. I don't want to get all melodramatic on you but I'm pretty sure a small part of me died in that moment.

For anyone who loves fitness, winters can be tough because the last thing you want to do is exercise on dark, cold mornings and evenings.

Luckily Nike has pre-empted this lack of excitement for the impeding gloomier months with a stellar AW13 collection. There's the usual excellence in construction and fabric, but it's the colours and the designs that really stand out for me - they are just the epitome of cool and exactly how I want to look down the gym right now.

While I may not be excited about pounding the pavements in the depths of winter I can get excited about the potential clever layering opportunities this fab collection will afford me. It's the small things, right?
