    I can't run during the winter because my mom is afraid I'll catch a cold or slip on ice or something. What are some exercises that I can do at home to improve my running endurance?

    We don't have a treadmill and there aren't any indoor tracks near us. If I want to get a gym membership I have to use my own money and I'm just about broke right now. In my school the XC team doesn't train over winter and neither does the track team.

    By the way I want to train so I can actually do decent in track meets.

    Tell her that being cold doesn't give you a cold. And tell her that there are these things called warm clothes that can be worn. Also tell her that if you get fast enough then you can get a college scholarship. If all else fails, just open the door and run. She can't legally stop you from doing so.

    Also, a gym membership only costs like $100 per month. Get a job.

    I live in a colder climate than you could possibly fathom, and I run all winter long. Get a life.

    Jump rope and body weight circuits won't substitute for not running but they'll keep you in shape

    Are there any multi-story buildings nearby with stairwells that you can run up and down in?

    yeah my mom hides my running shoes when I'm in trouble or when she doesn't want me to run. If you have your shoes go run. How could she get mad at you for getting exercise?
