That last 5 minutes was not easy but I made it!! So worth it ....feeling great. This is the first winter I haven’t felt like crap in a long time !! What happens when it gets icy as I only run outside .... run in spikes?! Really hoping I can keep this up through until Spring.

You can do it ! Look out for places where you can run on grass, sand or hardcore - they don’t tend to get as icy. If you can run in early to mid afternoon there’s generally less ice around. All the best with it x

That’s really good advice thank you.....grass I have, hardcore less so, sadly no sand! X

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Cherrybubble]

No, it’s not the commonest, unless you’re near a nice flat beach ! Hope it goes well x

Well done you.

Ice and snow do stop most of us in the UK...........it all depends how desperate you are for your fix. Good trail shoes handle most conditions.

Spikes would require a LOT of ice to be anything other than a liability on paths... and running spikes would most probably be useless, the over shoe ones may be useful on the odd day, but trail shoes will be better on many more days out there.

As we rarely get weather that is icy for more than a few days at a time I think that just having flexible running schedules is the best option... not to mention there’s no added cost. A few days off here and there is a good rest.

Great job on the running... enjoy the next one.

Thank you will look into trail shoes they’re new to me.

Few days off ? I will need my fix ! I’ll have to run round the house when it’s snowy!
