Skating and struggle against cold

Hi there, fellow runner! It's cold out there, finally, so you can mix up your running with some cute winter sports like skating and skiing. By the way, in Moscow there is one of the greatest in Europe skating parks -- the Gorky park. It's fun and mice there, everybody can lend skates for about 10 USD for 5 hours. And you should leave 50 USD deposit for skates themselves (which is compensated, when you return skates). If you have your skates with you, you only pay 10 and go have fun. By the way, you can sharpen your skates there, it's not too expensive.

Skating is fun

And by the way, if your toes and fingers are getting white, cold and icy while you are skating, the problem might be hiding in your nutrition -- try to eat more meat, fish and other full of proteins types of food. You might also want some tea, chocolate or cacao -- feel free to consume them too, they will be of help too.

So days go darker, work become more monotonous and there's no light in the end and fire in the heart to heat your lazy body and mind. It's much harder to get up early in the morning or go out in the evening to have a nice small run. Your training log is filled with empty days -- no runs -- no fun, no health, no fitness -- all you can think about is a good night-sleep in your comfortable apartments. You know what? I have my great advice for you, fellow runner!

1. Create new running routes

To get more of autumn-winter new short daylight time try to rethink your approach to creating running route. Make changes to it to get more light -- choose something else, but park -- you will get street lighting to help you and mark all places where you can change to your running outfit -- plan running around that places. Utilize work, parents, time after meetings, maybe change your daily get-back-home routine to add some running.

2. Lunch break rethinked

Talking about work, you can use your lunch break as your run break -- find out if you have parks or stadiums around and feel free to change and do your sport activities.

3. Uphill running.

Try uphill -- it will not only strengthen your lungs and legs, but shorten your training time -- you'll fell results of your training faster, so you can get home faster. Find out if you have some fitting landscape around.

4. Try adding more speed.

It will help you get more warmth in short time. And it will empower your legs. Thy intervals like fastening for 20-40 seconds and then walking for a minute two - three times during your training.
