Part 4/7:
For those determined to run on snow and ice, investing in traction aids like Yaktrax can make a significant difference. These devices attach to the bottom of your running shoes, providing extra grip on slick surfaces. However, runners should be cautious when using these devices, as they may alter your stride and technique, especially if you're not accustomed to them.
For a safe introduction to using traction devices, start with shorter, slower runs to acclimate your body to the changes in stability. Always listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard until you feel comfortable.
