Ice can cause injury for winter workouts. Not just falls, but also muscle pulls can happen from a slip. With this in mind, I changed my workout route. Woodlot and Raynor Road have numerous places where the road is completely iced over. To allow me extra time and to take advantage of mostly bare roads on Ridge Road I plan on doing 2 x Ridge/Raynor starting down Ridge and up Raynor. This way I am going uphill on the icy spots meaning I don’t have to worry about bracing on ice as I descend down the hill. Here are the stats- 6.81 miles in 1:50:08 for a 16:10 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 180 feet at a cadence of 125 spm at an average power of 134w at an average heart rate of 106 bpm at an all out effort of 9 at a calm but chilly 12 degrees. I think this is the perfect route for these conditions. Have a blessed day!
