FLOAT ON 
Hey Reid, I was just wondering how do you train during the winters? Do you still run outside regularly or prefer the inside a bit more (i.e. treadmills? indoor tracks?)
Thanks and good luck!
I’ll run outside in any weather except when there is thick ice, or a ton of fresh snow before a long-run. In a typical winter (when I’m in Ontario) I would usually hit the treadmill 3 or 4 days total and a handful of quality days on an indoor track. In the past few years I’ve been going away to warm weather training camps for a month.
