If you’re looking for a good cross training exercise to do in the winter try snowshoeing. It uses 50% more energy than running on trails.You can get them for running or hiking and snowshoers say they feel like walking or running in sand.
They also say the calm and peacefullness of snowshoeing during or after a fresh snowfall is priceless. The scenery can’t be beat.
Running on snow is better on the joints than trail running since the impact of your step is less. The snowshoes come in 3 different types, depending on what kind of workout you will be doing. Many mountains are now renting snowshoes for hikers and runners who want a unique and challenging workout.
