“A Run, a shake, and Thanksgiving with the DeMoors” features Seth James DeMoor and is worth watching. This pulls out the workout details so you can try it yourself. For the rest, watch the full video.
Key points:
- Winter running on icy, snow-packed roads in Denver.
- Shoes: Altra Lone Peak 4.5 trail shoes for grip, with a Spenco insert for cushioning.
- Pace goal: 8 min/mile (about 5 min/km) for a steady 10-mile (16 km) run.
- Mental reset: a break from racing.
- Bonus: a simple carrot-based shake post-run.
Workout:
- Distance: 10 mi (16 km).
- Target pace: 8 min/mile (5 min/km).
- Terrain: icy and snowy streets, so grip and stability matter.
- Gear tip: trail shoes with good traction; Spenco-style insoles add comfort on hard surfaces.
Practical tips:
- Test shoe grip on a short icy patch before committing to the full 10 miles.
- Hold an easy, steady pace (8 min/mile) so you stay safe and can take in the holiday scenery.
- A carrot shake afterward refuels without sitting heavy.
Closing note: try this 10-mile winter run, adjust the pace to your fitness, and log it in the Pacing app. Happy Thanksgiving.
