NEW IN! Thanks to Bilal Tahir for mentioning the Kahtoola EXOspikes which are designed for multi-terrain use with carbide walking-pole type grippers rather than shark-tooth spikes. Really cool idea for mixed conditions of snow, mud and everything else. Here they are amzn.to/3l889Go

Absolutely great advice, especially that relating to how different things can look in the snow, and how unfamiliar a route can suddenly appear. Visual and audio cues are very different and this can be really confusing. Preparation and a bit of planning are the key here.
Cracking video, Claire
Thanks TR! Prep and planning for sure, totally agree! :)
Inspirational! The weather is always worse when you are inside looking out 🤗❄️🏃♀️
Yes, the rain always sounds harder on a roof than in real life too!
Great advice. Yellow / pink ski goggles / glasses are great as they show relief more and make it feel like it's sunny outside. Very true about the route looking different in snowy conditions... A well known route is also very different if you go round in the opposite direction!
Yes, totally agree! :)
Great video! What a lovely day for a run! I've been stuck on the treadmill due to a foot of snow and ice, but I suppose that's just an excuse... I've got spikes. I'm running a road 10k this weekend (sadly no trail races in the winter), but after that I'll stop being a wuss and hit the trails again.
Lol well treadmill is super useful if you don't want to slip over, but actually I think I'd be more likely to just fall off the back of it so I'm safer out in the wild lol!
You have got some super scenery and very good trails where you live . I really appreciated your amazing experience towards running . Thank you for putting this on Claire and all the best for your training for the ultra .
Fab! Thanks AC, it is beautiful where I live you are right, especially in the snow!
Great video. On the gloves point went out for my normal run in the cold rain and only realized my hands frozen when it was hard to put the key in the door afterwards.
Argh, this!!! So important isn't it, the hands!
Was looking forward to running in the snow this lunchtime. But its already melted 😂😂
Arg nooooo!!!
I'm from Finland and I don't understand this 😀
My 2 cents: Wool mittens are great because they don't get cold when wet. EVA midsoles get rock hard in freezing temperatures.
Great advice, yes wool mitts are the best aren't they, the ones I had were synthetic though, so my hands were getting a bit chilly
Could have done with traction yesterday. :)
Nice video Claire.
Yep! I hear you! Hope the injury is ok in all this Andrea
@@wildgingerruns so far so good with the leg, didn't do any damage sliding around in Thursday's snow. :)
You should try the new Kahtoola exospikes for both road and trail
Oh cool thanks for this Bilal, great suggestion! Not seen these. They're these ones right? Great idea, will add to the film description amzn.to/3l889Go
@@wildgingerruns yes these are the ones. I think they are more versatile than the microspikes because you don't have to keep taking them off when you get to pavements without snow. They are for both road and trail
@@bilaltahir9978 Yes they look just the ticket, thanks for this I hadn't seen them before
My partner won’t let me out in the snow too dangerous 😞
Aw that's a shame Danny, I'm sure you would be fine if you just went slowly on an easy route :)
