If you’re worried about running through snow, sleet, and icy darkness this winter,  you might want to consider taking your workout indoors. Check out my newest article on True/Slant for tips on treadmill running!

Happy Friday! I’ll be back with a longer post later tonight :-)

    That was a great, helpful article. Last year, my running suffered due to having to resort to a treadmill in the colder months. Even though I have a thicker skin now when it comes to running in slightly adverse weather, it’ll be nice to have those tips in mind when the running outdoors is a non-starter. Thanks!

    Great article on True/Slant – congrats on that column, I can’t think of two bloggers I would rather read. Yay!

    Thank goodness for some treadmill encouragement – when it gets to be 20 below here, I’m not sure jetting off outside will be an option!

    Good advice. I train for shorter races (1k and under) so fortunately most of my workouts only take 30-40 minutes. I do almost all of them on the treadmill, and the key for me is keeping my mind occupied. I do a lot of interval stuff, so I’m constantly adjusting speeds and/or elevation. I wear a heart rate monitor on my long runs and adjust my pace every 400m to try to keep my pulse steady. I also record my performances and constantly challenge myself to improve. I was always a sprinter and hated “running”, but this has helped change me. I can’t yet say that I love running, but I have been able to stick with it for a couple of years now.
