I found this article to be very interesting and motivational
Good article and great recipes. Look forward to more being added soon, particularly as Summer is only around the corner (!?)
I agree with everything above, but I would like to add that one of the things I would really miss is being able to run around some of the trails near where I live, the beautiful views, wildlife and the sheer pleasure of being amongst nature.
I would just like to say what a very comprehensive reply to the question posed by Pauline. Well done!
I have just recieved an email from Mary in Canada who has suggested the following:
1. Dress like a Christmas tree, including electric lights. Small LED light devices can be purchased in bike and sports stores in red or colorless light, and set on steady or flashing modes. These are visible much sooner than reflective strips are. I say this having driven to work in the dark behind a keen cyclist in our snowy Canadian winter. I even have a new Saucony shirt in bright traffic-stopping orange fabric, with reflective patches AND a detachable LED.
2. Use a small headlamp to light your path as well as increase your visibility. These can be purchased in camping or outdoor stores and are very light in weight. I have also seen caps with lights incorporated into the front edge of the brim.
3. On icy routes attach gripping devices, such as Yak Trax to your shoes or wear spikes.
As the Race Director I know I am biased but even the article in Novembers Runners World gives the event a glowing report!
