I am a runner and I don't want to lose my cardio in the winter and don't really like going to the gym and running on a treadmill. I have recently heard about running snow shoes. Does anyone have any experience with these? I live 6 hours north of Vancouver and, well, the side roads are covered with snow already and the lake will soon freeze. So I will be running on mostly hardpacked snow and some ice and various depth or snow on the ice.

Be prepared for a real workout! Because I'm small and light, my running snowshoes are really no different than my walking/hiking snowshoes. You can rent them at most mountains, although Grouse rents them as regualar snowshoes for smaller people.
Hope you try it. It's quite fun.

| My shoes are designed for running and they work great! You'll still have some adjustment to make as running in snowshoes is waaaaay different but it's a pleasant learning curve. |
