Key Points
- Winter running focus: icy, snow‑packed roads in Denver.
- Shoe strategy: Altra Lone Peak 4.5 trail shoes for grip; added a spenco insert to soften the ride.
- Pace goal: 8 min / mile (≈5 min / km) for a steady 10‑mile (16 km) run.
- Mental reset: took a break from racing to recharge.
- Bonus: simple carrot‑based shake for a post‑run boost.
Workout Example
- Distance: 10 mi (16 km)
- Target Pace: 8 min / mile (5 min / km)
- Terrain: icy/ snowy streets – prioritize shoe grip and stability.
- Gear Tip: Use trail shoes with good traction; consider spenco or similar insoles for added comfort on hard surfaces.
Practical Tips
- Test shoe grip on a short icy segment before the long run.
- Keep a consistent, easy‑pace (8 min / mile) to stay safe and enjoy the holiday scenery.
- After the run, a quick carrot shake can refuel without feeling heavy.
Closing Note Give the 10‑mile winter run a try, adjust the pace to fit your own fitness, and log it in the Pacing app. Have a happy Thanksgiving and keep crushing those miles!
