Running in snow

[Angie C. (1598619650)]

I live in Alaska and while most of my runs are on the treadmill in the winter, I prefer being outside. I find that running in the snow with or without ice cleats of some kind mess with my form and cause wierd pains in my hips and knees. Any suggestions?

My husband ran in Alaska for ten years. He suggested some Salomon ice shoes or IceBugs, lots of layers, and stay hydrated. He’s run in -5 weather, and loved every minute of it. Try to run downtown. It’s pretty safe, and you can cover every inch of it within a few years if you are using an App like Strava.
