How does one do hills in the winter time in a place that has tons of ice and snow? Is there any indoor alternatives athletes can do for that training?
Reason I ask is because I’m in Utah and most track meets are during the summer (or at least the one I’m aiming for). Problem is though is that it doesn’t stop snowing here until March at the earliest.
There is an indoor track in the area, you just can’t wear spikes on it. So SPP can be done ok.
I know, but the track managers probably wouldn’t understand that. Its also a rubber track with same material made from outdoor tracks (but they don’t allow spikes either). Either way, I only have a tire sled to pull.
Guess I could manage to find a hill that was salted.
I’m hoping there is a better alternative. Any other ideas?
It really doesn’t matter THAT much. There are tons of successful programs that use no hills or sleds. They are a useful feature, depending on how you organize things, but not absolutely necessary.
Mortac8, probably a lot more snow. When I say snow, I mean its on the ground ALL the time between Nov/Dec all the way to March/April. Its snows all the time, it stays there, and snows more.
