Tried to run got as far as 1km, slipped a few times decided not to risk it and ran back home. Will pick up tomorrow fingers crossed 🀞🏽. I wish my local gym had a treadmill 😞

How are others coping in this snow/ice?

Good call. Ice is dangerous... it can end your running for months... it’s not worth it. I don’t cope with it... when it’s icy I do extra cross training and my run waits.

Ice is just too risky for me, too. But the other day I managed to run around the icy bits only to discover that muddy patches on the path can be very slippery as well. On the good side, though, dancing around ice, mud and avoiding dog poo did make the time just fly by ...πŸ˜‰
