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
- Begin by testing shoe grip on a short icy patch before you commit to the full 10 miles.
- Maintain an easy, steady pace (8 min / mile) to keep things safe and let you enjoy the holiday landscape.
- A carrot shake after the run refuels well without feeling heavy.
Closing Note Give this 10‑mile winter run a shot, adjust the pace for your fitness level, and log it in the Pacing app. Happy Thanksgiving—here’s to many more great runs.
