Dopamine1979 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Was just getting into a good jogging routine and shedding my Christmas belly then it starts bloody snowing. Does anyone jog in the snow or is that asking for trouble? Any tips? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28158-jogging-in-the-snow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townleygreen Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I would get yourself a pair of those clip on snow shoes you put on over your trainers - made by Yaktrak amongst others - great Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28158-jogging-in-the-snow/#findComment-608609 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Could be dangerous. Maybe it might be safer on the grass. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28158-jogging-in-the-snow/#findComment-608655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleglen Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You get to a certain age when snow is perceived as dangerous because you might slip and break something. If you fall and break something you will be laid up and potentially could put on more weight. Do exercises indoors until it disappears imho.

RosieH Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yaktrax, yaktrax, yaktrax.I bloody love 'em, and I don't care who knows it. Although even Yaktrax won't help you on sheet ice, like what the side roads round here get like of a winter.

LondonMix Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yep, it back to running in the gym (which I hate) until the weather clears up. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28158-jogging-in-the-snow/#findComment-608712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

taper Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Running in the snow is a joy. Short steps, avoid ice, run on snow that isn't compacted. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28158-jogging-in-the-snow/#findComment-608821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Running on snow where the ground is even mildly uneven can injure your back or joints, a small dip in the ground or an old hole or clump of grass unseen is all it takes.

Annette Curtain Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've seen a number of snow joggers lately. I can read the "oh yes-nothing will stop me jogging" smugness on their faces.One was running down the middle of the road yesterday by the Horniman's, giving the odd car who berated him the "middle finger"Snow or no snow, what a COCK!

He was also walking (skiing?) a tiny dog on a long lead. The dog trotted miserably along, eyes glued to the ground blushing furiously.
