Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

You do know you can run in snow *snow , don't you?! ;-)

Good to hear they worked for you Gus. I've heard folk saying they are no use - either don't grip or then fall apart. But they would def be more usable on tarmac than the big ol Kahtoolas, which are impossible to use on anything less than a couple cm of complete cover of ice or snow. Well done everyone for getting out there.

Some fab pics of running in the snow in our local hills from club mates. Unfortunately I'm not running at the mo so missing out. :-) G

Based on comments here, I bought some yaktrax pro thingies ~ 'cus the last lot of snow really was, to my psyche, a no-go in my road shoes ...

So I was really chuffed to see that the snow had settled overnight. And lots lets chuffed to find that it was slop, not compactable snow I needed for the yaks :-( . But by early afternoon it had melted away quite well, and I ran anyway :-)

(I am now on the search for trail shoes (I'm a big lad) which can be pressed into occasional use for frost and lightly iced paths and roads ... :-) )
