Anyone from northern climes...
After being dumped with >30cm snow this past week, I thought I'd try snowshoeing as an alternative to the frustration of trying to run in this slippery, greasy crap.
Does anyone have experience on what type of gear to use (i.e. do I need 'high performance' snowshoes, or will 'recreational' ones do?)? Also, what kind of terrain should I seek - I've heard snowshoeing really gets the HR up, so do I need 10-15km of trail for a 60min workout, or do I need less?
Thanks -
