Winter Running: Traction Devices

By | 2017-12-24T20:55:18+00:00 December 24th, 2017|General Interest, Tips|

  As a runner in Vermont winters can be a bit of a conundrum. On one hand it can be amazing as all of the sidewalks and bike paths turn into "trails", and the many technical mountain routes actually smooth out and become runnable once everything is coated in snow.

This means that if you want to continue to enjoy running you either need to get familiar with the treadmill, or figure out a way to keep yourself rubber side down.  If you're like us and prefer your runs with a side of fresh air a little [...]

Winter Running: Being Seen

By | 2017-12-07T05:45:43+00:00 December 7th, 2017|General Interest|

Notice the dark background... Most environments are much busier than this. Even with the reflective gear it can be very difficult to see a pedestrian at night. (Image from myprrun.com) Ever since daylight savings kicked in my commute home from work has been in the dark. Lately I've been noticing a significant number of people out and about... running... walking... and on their bikes.  Some of these individuals were doing everything they were supposed to be doing. They had lights, they were wearing bright colored clothing, the clothing had reflective areas or the person was wearing a reflective vest. However, some of the people I saw were wearing dark colored clothing and were doing nothing to improve their chances of being seen. [...]
