_andy Jan 2021 1:30pm, 5 Jan 2021 11,108 posts	0 _andy Hi folks, I'm 700 metres from the Fife boundary with Perth & Kinross-shire, in a rural location, and Ochils are just over the boundary, with all the parking spots within 5 miles. Interesting that the rules still say we can drive for exercise - but I guess it all about common sense. If the car-park is full, turn round and go somewhere else. Good luck to you all for the weeks (months?) ahead.

Scorge Jan 2021 6:46pm, 5 Jan 2021 765 posts	0 Scorge i've never tried spikes for running - if it's sub-zero out, then i stay in. have them for the hillwalking boots, but different kettle of fish, that. D33 aside, is there anything on the calendar before july that likely goes ahead?

KimCanRun Jan 2021 10:06pm, 5 Jan 2021 4,968 posts	0 KimCanRun Evening all. Not sure why I’ve not followed this thread before. I’ve had my yaktrax for a few years now and never used them. Could have been done with them on my last run but got away with running in trails.
SteveC NordRunner Jan 2021 12:12am, 6 Jan 2021 344 posts	0 SteveC NordRunner Depends on the spikes, perhaps, Grr. I've run over 1000 km in several pairs of spikes with a lot of bare bits of asphalt and granite, so long as they are carbide spikes. The two pairs I'm using right now are Salomon Spikecross and Merrells. I'm wearing out the lining before the spikes. And I can run on pavement just fine because the sole has enough give. OTOH I had a pair of ASICS Arctic once that wore out very quickly because they weren't carbide.
