Running in the snow?
Running in the snow?
Hi all,
Do you run in the snow, I'm gutted as I can't get out, is it possible? Don't want to slip and so haven't tried.

Not braved it either! Have a treadmill in my garage so lucky in this weather!

Re: Running in the snow?
Hi, I recently bought some chains for my shoes..I live in Italy not sure if they are available where you are and to be honest I haven't tried them yet but I've been told they will make it possible to keep running without sliding. They are like the chains for your car!
The brand is SCHUHKRALLE and cost 25euros.

After writing this I can now confirm, THEY WORK!
They gave a little pain on the balls of feet though so may need to wear extra thick socks for padding. Was so great, I think there may have been an extra spring in my step. Puddles, ice and snow balls, no problema!

That's awesome! Well done trying that out and finding they work – I admire your determination!
Re: Running in the snow?
I'm in Calgary Alberta and running in the cold and snow is just the way it has to be for me
I don't mind it though, I just really watch my footing when it's icy but the sidewalks are usually bare. I just layer my clothing and go

Re: Running in the snow?
Yeah, I think it really depends on the snow- if it's heavy snow, dry snow, running in it can be real fun, I do it every winter. That's why it worked for the Canadian here. Great link for the shoe chains, sounds real cool. I'll have to check it out.
