I would hate to see it, but you wonder why such a catastrophic fracture occur in mid-stride, unless its due to osteoperosis. I would hate to think this young woman would compramise her health (ie: with an eating disorder which greatly enhances such events) for anything. Its really not worth it. I used to date a woman whose sister was 2nd in the 800 years ago in the NCAA's, and then her coach told her if she lost a few pounds she would bee so much better (lame-brain of a coach). She never ran well after the eating disorder took over her life (and messed her life up in general for a while).

Once every 3 months, we do a 1 mile time trail to see how you're improving or not. The workouts are always very tough, but that natural high at the end of the workout is always a great way to end the day. I find these speed sessions really keep me sharp even when my weekly running mileage is low (e.g., only 20 miles sometimes).
Translated to climbing mountains, the speed workout feels just like you do when you're getting anaerobic pushing up a route (especially, say, above 10,000 feet) to get to the summit.

You mean running on snow and trails? Unless you know the trails perfectly well, don't. Snow covers alot of hidden holes and rocks, those things will kill your ankles. Run on roads, or well groomed/establish paths.

I meant road-running on snow/ice. Do people just run in their regular shoes, or something else?

That's not to say that another person couldn't have slightly different results, but I think intervals and sprints are over-rated because they are easier to do than tempo runs. At the same time, the fastest endurance runners do a little bit of sprints and intervals, on top of their high mileage and tempo runs.

Interval workouts always beat me up way more than my tempo runs. Of course, I think that the shorter the competition distance, the more interval training helps and vice versa. Certainly, it wouldn't help the recreational runner much in training for a marathon.
