Training in the snow???

[duchman]

Hello guys!

Does anybody ever trained in the snow?
I jogged this morning in the snow for half an hour.
It feels like 2 hours of normal running.

Come on out to Chicago, Duchman.

You get to walk, jog, run, drive, shovel and stumble through the f***ing snow everywhere you turn, if you haven't already died of arctic exposure or been brained by a falling chunk of ice from a high-rise.

Trust me--it's a workout.

Yea, it is definitely tough. I'm in Iowa right now and just got stuck in the snow. I had to run home. The cold air sure does burn the lungs!!

I heard Rickson and Rolls did this many times in Brazil to build up their stamina and breathing.

Right now I've got the suckass prize of straining in the snow: a sore throat and nasal congestion. I really hate Indiana!

Living in a cold climate does justify gi work though. For I'm guessing about four months out of the year I'm wearing a heavy coat and another four months in some kind of jacket. Have you ever tried grappling in a hoody (sweatshirt)? It's not too much different than a gi.

Indiana cold? Heh heh after returning to Minnesota this year (spent the last 4 in Indiana) I almost died the first day it was -10 hehe but now I am used to it again. My friend and I tried some "grappling" during a game of hockey hheh its hard to stay standing in skates!!

I cannot rationalize being in the arctic cold, when it is within your power to escape it.

Call me Redneck; I cannot dig on that.

It's 37 in Houston; the 3rd coldest month on written record here........I'm barely able to cope!!!

what temperature is this at edro? up here in canada, we get up to negative 30 C plus windchill.. not the kind of temperature i would like to be outside in my shorts in! although i have heard of russian special forces training in the extreme cold with minimal clothing..

[duchman]

I'm not used to snow and tought the training in the snow was the shit.Feels like a double workout.

P.s And it gives you the rocky 4 feeling

Training in the snow is great for as long as you can endure it. Where I live we don't get much.

Try fighting in a pouring rain storm some time. That's a pretty good workout too because you'll find that you can't BREATHE!!!
