Yup…it’s snowing here in the front range of Colorado. What’s mean for your training? Let’s have a look at some ideas…

DON’T DO THE NORM – If you’re workout plan calls for a long run today…by all means, don’t go out and try to run the same pace and distance in a blizzard. The injury risk exponentially goes up and up as does the actual workout benefit. Working out when you’re stressed can actually have a detrimental effect.

FOCUS ON YOUR MENTAL GAME – Seriously…meditate, do yoga, practice mindfulness, try ohm chanting, try breathing exercises with mental focus work….training isn’t always physical stuff…sharpen your mind too!

CHANGE IT UP – Get out in the weather all bundled up and try snow shoeing! Snow shoeing can be a great cardo workout that is different, challenging and invigorating.
