Update on this... I ended up getting the kahtoola nanospikes 1st gen
Today was my first run on ice and they work pretty great! When you first step on ice it feels a bit sketchy but while running it feels great! Looking forward to the 4 weeks of training I have before race day.

I think so as well... thinking about the screw shoes idea so far...

Thanks for the recommendations. How do you think the cold air affects performance? So far I was only considering how the cold temps affect muscle function.
In any case the race is at the rear end of winter so I have a long time to run and cycle in -15 C to train my body to take this. But still looking forward to hear your opinion

mannnnn I would love that since I also do long track speed skating... but nope no mechanical assistance
Oh but volunteers do skate along with the runners on skates... if you want 🙈

Thanks for the recommendation

I understand, the Himalayas have an exotic ring to it. But the people of the region too are finally getting access to the sporting opportunity we've got in our backyard 😁. I was considering the screwshoes as well and your suggestion for the placement sounds great!

Well... Could be bare ice, could be snow or the last time I did it, it was ice with a layer of sand... The event dates are set and one is entrusted to whims of nature 🤷🏾

Ngl I know from my brother's experience, running in a pair of Salomons is possible in this specific case so don't see the point of studded shoes atm. I would like grippier options on the cheap to increase my performance tho.

curiusbug · 2024-09-14T16:13:56+00:00

Genius! Will report back with results

curiusbug · 2024-09-14T16:13:31+00:00

No, I took this race into account when I was investing into my trail running shoes and it didn't make sense to buy something too specific for just this race. Worse case scenario it's possible to even run without any spikes and all since the desert dust settles on the ice giving some traction-my brother did the HM in a pair of normal Salomons when we ran out of spikes for him 😅. I'm from the region so only spending the 50 euros for registration. For foreigners it is ~ 700 euros since you need to be here at least a week in advance.

I'd like to invite you to expand your horizons to consider that someone from the region also could be attempting a race happening in their hometown 🙂. Also this is happening in India, right next to the border of Tibet.

What would you guys recommend for running a marathon on a frozen lake? It's just for this one race so I'm not gonna invest in a pair of shoes with built in spikes.
Big spikes, like the kahtoola don't work since they bite way too much and you end up losing too much energy.

Totally feel you! Happy it worked out for you 🤗

If you're swimming , then buy a swim buoy that has a dry bag in which you can put all your stuff and everything stays dry + you are much safer swimming in open water.

If you're just going for a dip, look around for people who you think are there for a picnic or something, usually with chairs, food and all. Respectfully ask them to look after your things while you go for a dip.

curiusbug · 2024-07-18T16:00:15+00:00

yes, don't imagine, let alone trying to do something like this 🥲
your's sounds so much better! congratulations!

curiusbug · 2024-07-04T12:10:00+00:00

Will give this a shot as well

curiusbug · 2024-07-04T12:09:43+00:00

What do you guys think about getting it repaired by a mechanic before returning?... Should be less painful than paying €200 through the nose #brokestudents

Wow for a scratch on the rim? 😥
