Arrived in turkey yesterday with my non running daughter , who assured me this hotel was equipped with a gym & no there isn't , grrr so my only option now is run outside , which I do at home but it's so hot & hotel is in the mountains in middle Of no where . We have just been for a little walk & yes there is places I can run but it's a bit isolated , would you risk it early morning ?
No choice: Arrived in turkey yesterday with my... - Couch to 5K
No choice

Hi Rockette, sorry to hear you have no gym . Personally, I wouldn't, don't want to alarm you but you don't know who might be hanging about , better safe than sorry . Enjoy the rest of your holiday xxx

Hi Rockette,
I personally feel you would be better not doing so. I remember once on holiday in Greece having short words with my husband - he of the never walking fame - because I wanted to walk down to the beach and he didn't. I stubbornly went on my own in the evening as the light was fading. It was only about 1km from the hotel but a very scruffy man in a van followed me and then turned his truck back to follow me again. I suddenly realised just how silly I had been and how vulnerable I suddenly was in an unfamiliar area. (Actually I was terrified by him!) And it doesn't have to be dangerous people - you could simply trip and fall and be in trouble. Better safe than sorry.
I know you are disappointed about no gym but it was just an oversight. Maybe a gentle trot along the beach and into the sea to cool down?

Oh no Rockette! Have you asked at reception if there is a gym in the area you can use?
That does sound like quite an unwelcoming climate and terrain for running...but if you're going to spend your whole holiday twitching for a run it's worth trying to find a solution

Best not to risk it and just enjoy your holiday. Like others have said your safety is the most important thing!!! Have a nice swim in the pool and sea instead!

Definitely not Rockette, far too dodgy. Just do lots of swimming and you'll be fit as a flea, lovely and tanned AND really relaxed when you get back home. Enjoy yourself

Hi Rockette In Turkey again! I'm so jealous! My sister has just got back from Bodrum and is all tanned and relaxed
Have a great time, get plenty of swimming done and you'll be fine and dandy for running when you get back

Hi there, I have just come back from 2 weeks in Madeira. I intended on trying to complete W7 because i cant seem to find time to run 3 times a week- to move on. I would suggest you do lots of walking and swimmimg- and most importantly STAY SAFE... enjoy your holiday : )
