Running a White Trail (Beginner)

Here I just taste the joys of White Trail, if like me you want to start running in the snow this winter, here are some tips:

Trail running a White

-

• Read the weather the last 3 days and come early to feel the snow:

Why? Simply because according to the structure of the snow, the race may change dramatically at all.

A hard snow with ice patches = fast run, good support if you are equipped with chains or toothed shoes kind Yaktrax

Soft snow (current or recent fall) = The Galley! It is sinking, falling, many slowdowns in narrow ... well you can not do much except to save and not end dismally!

Packed snow = the top, one course on clouds, it does not sink, does not slip ... the pace is fast but still some gaffe holes: nb:

• Equip themselves accordingly, but not too much!

There is no point to put the jacket, we quickly ran hot especially if the sun is in the game with the reverb ... I would say two layers including a fleece. Put a windbreaker in the bag in case Eole occurs. Take a good warm hat and gloves for chilly.

Optionally, a buff to put around the neck to protect the nose, mouth so big gust of wind!

• Protect your Camelback

So remember to protect its water supply. Many insiders use gourds they carry on a belt at the waist rather than the Camelback that freezes very quickly. Otherwise, there are protections isothermal, never tested on my part ...

• Do not expect to rock the house!

... Unless you call Diemunsch Etienne, Julien Rancon or Jornet do not expect to run 15km \ h your first white trail but your jogging pace well Quiet

Here, if you see something else, thank you for comment I will update the post

Nothing stops the traileur!
