Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) Dec 2017 3:25pm, 11 Dec 2017 27,908 posts	Quote Pin Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) Quite right V'rap. It was ice that killed the dinosaurs after all... G
jennyhohoho Dec 2017 3:32pm, 11 Dec 2017 2,460 posts	Quote Pin jennyhohoho Whilst I’m sure having the right gear helps, I think it helps if you’re confident/experienced in running in such conditions - as you seem to be G. I’m clumsy at the best of times, and managed to faceplant the other week whilst running when there was no ice, so I’m a bit cautious when it’s icy (we rarely get proper snow round our way). When I have run on the ice, I’ve found the same as Fenners, that it seems to be easier than walking on it.

Like Fenners says, a good running form should be able to run smoothly on ice. However, he doesn't demonstrate a 90 degree turn to one side, drop down a step or up or down a hill in that video! G

Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) Dec 2017 3:52pm, 11 Dec 2017 27,912 posts	Quote Pin Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr) Go carefully jenny. But as DT says, also be prepared to go more slowly. The only time I have done treadmills is when I had a specific speed work session. I completely agree - def not clever trying to do intervals or tempo on icy pavements! G
