As winter weather appears and disappears in Central Oregon, it's helpful to have a set of best practices to prevent injury and illness from putting a damper on winter fun. The following is a few ideas that I have picked up over the years from coaches, done a little research on, and put into practice:
-For those who chose to maintain their running fitness outside, instead of a treadmill, choose safe routes and be aware of changing conditions between sun and shaded areas. Wear reflective clothing in darkness. If there is snow and ice, consider investing in Yaktrax(see picture) which are ...
