any tips for running in the snow (other than 'don't do it' or 'avoid the yellow bits')?
presuming it's best to stick to grass if possible?

It is possible. Remove pants, sit on grass. Trust me, you will stick. Job done. |

I've been out for a lovely enjoyable  20 min run in the snow this morning. I had my trail shoes on and felt like evilpie with his winter tyres but a couple of friends were in normal running shoes and no-one had any problems with grip sticking to fresh snow is best as that's not slippy but tbh you're a lot less likely to slip while jogging along than while walking |

there's also the added bonus that when I left home my shoes were caked in mud from the last time I took them offroading, now they are spotless and all shiny

One thing I forgot to wear today was sunglasses! The rest of my kit was spot on though I made a schoolboy by not wearing the protective shades. |

I washed all my running gear earlier and it's still not dry. i think it's god's way of telling me to have a rest on the sabbath.

sticking to fresh snow is best as that's not slippy but tbh you're a lot less likely to slip while jogging along than while walking
How far did you go? Must have been well over 20 miles at the pace you run. Love running in the snow, not so keen when it all turns to mush and slush though and feet get sodden. My Salomons are pretty good at keeping my feet dry though, my road shoes aren't quite so effective. |

only did 17 1/2 miles, slow run in general made slower by doing the first third with some 11-12 minute milers until they turned for home and plenty of stops for photos and checking out the wildlife. much more of a social event than a training run until we upped the pace for the last few miles. saw a heron on the thames which was a first
