2024:W31R3 - Icebreaker and Snowbreaker :-)

[lusmo]

It was nice! Winter doesn't matter so much, mainly because the sun is shining.

Only the path has disappeared somewhere

I struggled up to my ankles, but it was fine. I was the first in some places. Only sometimes there were deer tracks in the snow in front of me.

Third 7 kilometers this week! This time in the snow on unpaved roads and on plains without a path. 🫠

I don't know, wouldn't cross-country skiing be better?🤔

Happy running!

If you already know how to do it, I say Go for it.

There is a big BUT:

If you have done a lot of running in snow or skiing - your aerobic capacity may be way better than you think, and possibly much better than before the winter.

So, if you ski a lot this winter (plus other kinds of alternative training) you need to be careful when you start running again in Spring. Your legs will not be used to running on hard surfaces and you should take it very easily and gradually build up.

Untrained legs + great(er) aerobic capacity = means that you have to stop running long before you tire or get out of breath - else you risk injury on your very first long or fast run.
