We finally got our first snowstorm of the winter here in my area and, after a
pretty mild winter, I have to say that I was excited to go for a run in the
snow this morning. If you're a little apprehensive about running when there's
snow on the ground, try some of these tips for running on snow:
Use ice grippers. Yaktrax Ice Grippers offer traction and confidence for winter
running. They slip right over your running shoes, without adding any weight.
The spikeless coils provide a solid, predictable grip so you don't slip or
slide.
Try snowshoeing. Mix things up and try a different type of workout with a pair
of snowshoes. If you can run, you can snowshoe. Many places that rent skiis
also rent snowshoes, so you can try them out and see if you like snowshoeing
before making an investment.
Put screws on your running shoes for traction. Running & Jogging Forum member
Allen has a great solution for running on the snow or ice. He secures hex-head
screws on the soles of a pair of running shoes. Check out his YouTube video on
how to make your own ice/snow running shoes.
Get a pair of trail running shoes. If you do a lot of snow running, you may
want to think about buying trail running shoes, which are somewhat water-proof
and will give you a little more traction in the snow.
