Hello
I'm 30 yrs old and have just started runnign again after 2 months off. Am a bit hesitatnt to get into a great training schedule because I'm going on a big trip to India/HK/China for 4 months in Sept and won't be running there I don't think (safety aspect might be a bit dodge) but will be doing a fair amount of yoga, about 5 hrs a day in Inidia for 2 months...not sure whether this is going to help too much with the running though.
Any thoughts on stopping runnignfor 4 months and any ideas on how to try and maintain fitness and stamina for running while travelling would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for such an active and community spirited forum- makes me feel like I'm part of a running club! :d

No advice from me I'm afraid, but welcome!

Yup another welcome from someone with no useful advise.

From the sound of it you are still going to be exercising so that is good. Maybe you will just have to start the running when you get back.

BTW don't trust Nat, she laughs at the afflicted

Welcome to the forum

I'd say that sadly there's no substitute for running other than running! But if that's not possible (as you say, safety could well be a bit dodge :s) just do whatever you can to keep yourself in reasonable shape and come back raring to go :d

Welcome to RF.

Have to agree with RS.....shock horror!!

 

[bek]

Thanks So no substitute for running? Bugger. Never mind, hopefully the break will make me super-keen to start again when I get back!?!?
Thanks for the welcome

Only other thing I can think off is to put a treadmill in your hand luggage

Hello Bek and welcome, I'm thinking 5 hours a day of yoga and you'll be a woman to meet when you come back!

bek... take no notice of squint

welcome to the forum... will you have access to a gym at any point? Will there be a beach you can run up and down preferably with someone. An early morning run on the beach would be lush!

 

[Heinzster]

why not be eco friendly, save money , and RUN to India!

You'll go to the naughty corner again if you don't behave! :suspicious:

 

[Squint]

If I'm in the corner you can't see what I'm doing

 

[Trinity]

I could probably guess :d

 

[Squint]

Well than you have a sick mind. I stand there head bowed crying for the shame I have brought apon myself!

 

[Squint]

Yeah right!

 

[Trinity]

but that's what I thought you would be doing...

How amazing would that be!! Although I'm not sure my fitness would support it
I like the idea though- I did think about trying to go over land all the way to India- what an adventure that would be, but not this time...

Hee hee- I like it! ....there may be a market for this, anyone feel like creating a portable, foldable treadmill???

You get them at most airports now, you just have to ignore the stares from other passengers as you block there route. That or go to your local supermarket and monoplise one of the checkouts.
