Good afternoon.

I'd like to get recommendations on winter running, especially when it is snowing.

1. Is it advisable to run on snow?
2. Which running shoes should I choose in order not to slip or sink into the snow?
3. Maybe it is better to move to running on an indoor track or a treadmill in winter?

Good day,

I’m running my first half marathon soon.

I’ve been training for nearly 4 months in the gym, mainly it is exercises for endurance.

Should I run a test half marathon one week before the race day?  

Thank you for your reply!

Good afternoon.

I run 10 km 4 times a week just to be in a good shape and health. My pace is about 6:30 and I want to increase my stamina to run longer without fatigue and short of breath.

What exercises should I do? Do I need do short sprints?

The second question: is abdominal breathing so important? When I practice it I feel dizzy.

There are no parks near my house so I have to run on asphalt or across the field. Besides shock absorbing running shoes what else do I need to protect my knees? Should I use a special running technique in this case?

Thank you.
