Recommended by Coach Gary Westlund: Ice Spikes for Safer Training in Icy Conditions

Outdoor training or racing through a Minnesota winter is risky at best, and dangerous at worst.

I'm pleased to have discovered a new product, Ice Spikes, that reduces the risks and even makes my running or race walking on ice or snow pack enjoyable for the first time in 20 years of attempting winter training.

So, after testing them myself, as well as getting a great recommendation from a fellow athlete who tested them on treacherously icy paths, I ordered 10 packages of Ice Spikes for Challenge Sportwear to inventory.

I am now ready to supply a complete Ice Spike package to anyone who wants to improve the safety and effectiveness of their wintertime outdoor training and racing.

Learn more about Ice Spikes including a video about how easy it is to install them into running shoes http://www.icespike.net/

The cost is $25 per package, or $17.50 for Charities Challenge Members. Call me at 612-245-9160 or e-mail me GaryWestlund@aol.com to order your Ice Spikes and arrange to get them from me when I'm regularly in the Como Lake, St Paul, MN area.
