I was out today in temperatures in the teens, crosscountry skiing. Obviously not the same as running, but when I got going (which was actually pretty frequent for a beginner, go me) I was going about that speed. I definitely warmed up fast--I started out bundled up but ended up pretty stripped down by the end of it. I wore an insulated jacket today (the description says it's for "the serious alpinist") and I'll be skipping that tomorrow, going for just a polypropylene thermal top and a softshell. I really want a Patagonia Capilene top to go with the bottoms I had on today. I'd check out the range of Capilene gear if you haven't. They are super-comfy for anything active.
