Whether weather?

12/20

This time of year outdoor training just kind of bites, as far as the track goes, in the North East. It kind of doesn’t matter where you have set your bio-rhythms as far as time of day to train, if you work a day job then strong chances are running, or at least part of it, is in the dark. The dark is not such a bummer but it comes with all the extra cold of a winter’s night. This of course means even if you are lucky enough to not have snow on the track there is the strong probability that it will be “iced over” a phenomenon where the track freezes and gets slippery and while I strongly believe water is the cause it is unclear if this is from actual ice. This makes running, even in spikes, a somewhat hesitant action. This is not what you want when trying to train. While you remain in relationship with the correct running effort, this should not be a hesitant action. So, it's indoor for us, we are thinking Reggie Lewis, I will let you know more when I do.
