    Do you stretch?

    I cannot say whether it is right or not, but having grown up with artistic gymnastics stretching is part of my upbringing, I do not believe it makes me a better runner though. Daily stretching do keep me agile and flexible though, a feeling and ability I quite value I might add :) So yes I...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    What excellent advise and thank you for keeping this thread interesting and alive. I have learned a lot and found a lot of inspiration here. I too rely heavily on ankle warmers, you can actually see them around my ankles in this picture...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Bill, sounds like some amazing running regardless of footwear. I have a pair fo neo trails too, I just find them a touch on the narrow side and think they are too much shoe for most conditions, but they do have a very nice grip when things are soft. We are lucky in that regard, no unfriendlies...

    Seen it before, but as a native Dane it is hard not to love it :hilarious:

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Exactly... I have picked up a lot of stuff from the responses so far, it is about all of us learning from eachother and BRS seems a very good place for just that. Running cold weather really is all about getting over that numbness phase, last winter I could barely run below freezing, this...

    Sounds absolutely horrible... I am not really sure what to say except that I truly hope you will find your way out of it.

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Your description of winter is such a vivid description of why I love it. Nothing like a cold morning under northern lights with nothing but snow and mountains, and that wonderful sound of arctic snow when walking. Hoarfrost is the one thing being very rare in Greenland and one thing I would love...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Hej Niesto, Danish or Norwegian does not really matter, it is so close, you spell more like we speak, where us danes are stuck with a written language that does not resemble our spoken one :) I used to live on Østerbro so did a fair bit of running around the lakes, I am bald though. Glad to hear...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Frostbite is really something to look out for. I am however very used to it from a number of other activities, such as snowboarding and mountaineering, we do both in very low temperatures it is mostly a face and finger issue here though. reading your experiences is very valuable. I will not...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Getting out there really is all about mind set to me and as I really love being outdoors all year I usually find it very liberating. Is it not hard being back in sneakers? Soon running will have to share time with snowboarding though, which I would not want to do barefoot ;)

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Jagged and crusty ice is not fun for anyone, especially not barefoot. I hear you on the VFF and smartwool combination, a favourite of mine too. Good luck with your challenge.

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Another dane - Pænt goddag :) our native habbit of salting away everything definitely is annoying. I tend to think that we have a very barefoot friendly environment in general. How do you find the gravel around the lakes? I have been running there a few times and foudn it quite OK for running...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Hiking, must be even harder than running. Impressive. You touch on a very interesting thing here, the snow on top of foot thing or wind for that matter. I too have noticed that getting either snow, cold water or strong wind running over the exposed skin on my feet cools them down significantly...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Lee, there simply is such a massive amount of good information in your post. I hear you on thehaving to wear shoes thing, but I am forced to during winter, if nothing else because temperatures gets into the no longer barefootable range and I really do not want frostbite on my toes. But winter...

    Winter running - what? how? why?

    Wow, that sounds really amazing... running sea ice must be amazing. Water currents around Nuuk ensure that our fiords does not freeze over, but seaice is a very good idea and must be a fun experience. Our skiiers generally do not mind me, as I stay out to the side and take good care never to...
