Road running

So I'm on W4R3 next, I love running in the country side and off road, but I'm getting a little bit worried that with winter coming I've got more chance of hurting myself running on uneven ground.

But I find road running a lot harder for some reason....it's less scenic and I find myself paying more attention to how long I've been πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ. Whereas in fields I've done the time before I know it!

Any tips?!

I run on the trails all year round. I find the rougher paths less slippy than icy roads and pavements of glass. you might need some proper trail shoes which have grippier tread. any excuse to buy new shoes πŸ˜ƒ I started c 25k in autumn so ran through winter. Some mornings I had to wait til later in the day to give the ice and snow time to melt πŸ™‚
