Icy Weather No Barrier to Winter Runners

Despite the cold weather and icy roads, runners are still taking to the roads this January. While New Years Day saw many of the gates into the Phoenix Park close due to icey conditions, there was no shortage of runners taking to the trails and enjoying the scenery as the park lay covered in a layer of soft, powdery snow.

So whether you are just trying to get back active after the Christmas period, or starting your training for the 2010 Lifestyle Sports adidas Dublin Marathon, dont let the cold snap hold you up, but remember to take care on the roads and stick to grassy surfaces where possible.

Its good to get out there, but not so good for your training plans if an icy slip leaves you with an injury!
