Does/has anyone run in the winter/snow? What kind of footwear do you use? |
I've been running in the snow this week. I bought a pair of Asics trail running shoes which have a waterproof Goretex outer. Everything's been fine; warm feet, no moisture.
If you want to buy a pair of these or similar, Salomon and a few other winter-affiliated brands do them very well too.

Trail works well with wicking insulating socks - coolmax, drymax, patagonia, marmot, TNF, arcteryx, etc. Trail by NB, Brooks, Asics, or anything with improved stability control, pronation and natural gait is measured on level surface, trail factors in imbalance of surface area to compliment stability control.
-edit-
for extreme regions I'd flip out that type of cardio and pick up something a bit more enjoyable like x-country skiing, snow shoeing, or mountaineering/hiking. Hiking with multiple changes in altitude affords the type of training that changes your vo2max based on o2 levels, this will help respiratory adaptation with a longer duration of endurance. |

Nah, I used to ski and snowboard. Not really interested in that. Winter hiking I could get down with. Snow removal is excellent in my city, so I think I'd be ok running on the street or sidewalk in my neighbourhood. :) |

In my head this is how you look now.
It's amazing how complex people manage to make running. It's running, something man has been doing it for thousands of years. Just put some shoes on and do it, you don't need anything else. |

Real men don't run with music, either. :p
Seriously though, I can understand that people who don't enjoy running need the distraction, but for me it defeats the purpose of the activity. I like to be alone with my thoughts and to focus on what's going on around me; wherever I've lived or holidayed I've always used it to explore my surrounds. Any distractions are unwelcome. |

| Sometimes I need music, sometimes I don't. I do find it much easier to manage my pace without music though. |

Actually, I get some of my best ideas jogging. However, it's not like I'm suddenly enlightened by a flow of fantastic insights the moment my legs start moving, so it tends to become unbearable after a while.
Besides, schranz (or anything around 140~150 BPM, really) helps me keep a constant pace. |

lol, i agree it's just running and I'm first to admit that I'm always a bit over-analytical only because that's natural to me as it defines who i am. Ok so dumb it down and yes end of the day it's running but if you factor in precautions for injury which everyone should consider, then it's about doing things properly and not only about running. We learn this over time, same applies to lifting weight..just lift the barbell, who cares if you're jerking or using proper form. |
