I have had to make the decision this week that my week 3 of the Magic Plan is going to have to wait until Tuesday. I've been trying to fit a run in here or there but life has pretty much got in the way or the weather has! I'm away at the weekend . Normally I'd try and fit in a run while I was away but I'm going to Rome and don't fancy running through the streets with a high probability of getting lost. I'm a bit disappointed but I have to be philosophical about it. The run will still be there when I get back. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Does it matter if I'm a week behind everyone else?

I ran in Cuba in January and it was a bit intimidating not knowing where I was going in unfamiliar surroundings, however I googled it before I went and believe it or not there is a website for runners who want to run on holiday and need to know where to go, what is safe, where is uncrowded etc...
So instead of making excuses have a look here.
greatruns.com/location/rome...
and here
You're welcome
Thanks for that Rigpig although I will not be running in Rome! If it was just the two of us then yes I'd love to do that but we're going in a group to see the rugby and there are no other runners - could be tricky. I'll definitely use that link though for somewhere else - would it work for France?

I only used it for Havana but it was spot on, from what I can see it's real runners who write the reviews, a bit like trip advisor for running
Actually I'm going to put something more local in and see what it comes up with!
I think I'll give that a try for around here where I live. It might throw up some different routes which would be nice.
I think you can do that with the "Map my Run" app but I haven't really looked at that. I've fiddled about with the Garmin web app and seen that there are many mapped runs in there for my local area and if you run them or even segments of them it seems to give you a ranking for other people that have run them.
Don't be disappointed, go enjoy being in Rome. Your runs will be here waiting on your return ๐๐
Thanks Buddy! Hopefully the weather will be slightly better when I return ๐คช
I'd say it doesn't matter one bit ๐. But the thought of running around Rome sounds fantastic to me!! Be so easy to get totally distracted with the scenery and everything!
Have a wonderful time
I totally agree but the place will be heaving with rugby fans! ๐ฌ
Have a great trip to Rome, search out routes for a future visit, I can already visualise where I'd run there and it would be great at this time of the year. Your magic plan runs will still be here for your return. Happy holiday
Have a great time in Rome and pick up the plan when you get back
I did the whole plan (at least one and a half times) in a different week from everyone else because I needed longer. It's fine as long as you can remember where you're up to!!
I think there are quite a few of us doing the Magic10 out of sync. I fell a week behind because of a sprained calf muscle; your excuse sounds much more fun! Enjoy the ๐
Do y'know? It never occurred to me. Of course people will be sustaining injuries and of course everyone will be doing it at a different rate! DERRR! Thanks for bringing that to my attention ๐
Enjoy yourself, and the Rugby ๐
You wonโt be behind me 59er - I havenโt run for a week so havenโt even started week3 yet and my plankety plankathon has been a disaster! And Iโm off skiing at the end of next week so by the time I get home Iโll be miles behind you! Good luck with week 3!
