ATTQOTD: I have two tracks pretty close to our house at the high school and junior high, both outdoor and buried in snow. When it is not buried I use it for long runs if the weather is super sketchy. It is only a half mile to my house so I can get out of dangerous weather quickly but still complete long runs. I like to mix up the run by constantly changing lanes, i.e. one in lane 1, two in lane 2, etc. or I run lane 1 then shift out to 8 then back to 2 and out to 7, etc. Depending on time of run I might plan for two, three or four laps in a particular lane before moving to the next. I have found that it helps me pass the time better than just cruising around and around in the same lane.
