Run + Snow = Fail

January 12th, 2010

I like snow and I like running, but the two just don’t mix together. I’m trying to keep myself to my running schedule and it goes pretty while, but because of the heavy snow fall in the last weeks in the Netherlands, it’s pretty hard to up the speed and get some serious mileage in my body.

Running on snow, and sometimes part ice, is pretty tricky. While it is not as slippery on snow as you would expect, you’re still running with some additional tension to the muscles which your normally don’t have. I noticed this today after a good run of 40 minutes. When I came home I felt muscles in my feet and legs I never felt before after running.

Let’s hope there will fall a fresh pack of snow soon or that it melts away soon. The icy stuff that’s on the floor now is really messing up my running schedule.
