Trainers on holiday! That’s a 1st 😎🏖

Well I have good intentions, packed all my running gear and trainers and will be keeping up with my regime whilst in Cyprus! Who would have thought?? Must say I’m a little nervous given I like my favourite treadmill near the gushy air con and doubt myself that I can run anywhere else 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Good stuff... you’ll be an international runner 😂

You’ll be just fine once you get going. Have a great holiday, hydrate lots before a run, maybe the odd dehydration drink after! 🍷

😂😂 international runner 🏃‍♀️ has a good ring to it... love it. I do get prickly though if I can’t get my treadmill and think I can’t do it.... those gremlins. Here’s to tomorrow, once I’ve found the gym!

Doing exactly the same! Heading to Bizarre in a week and am continuing the running while there. Never thought I’d say that.

Running outside is much nicer honestly! We’ll both have to watch the heat tho!

I know it must be more interesting outside but I’ve done all my programme on the treadmill and think that’s all I can do! I will venture outdoors at some point though

It is interesting- and feels sort of natural.

Typo in previous post - heading to Ibiza not Bizarre!

Oh no running in Cyprus? Sounds ghastly. Best stay at home and let me use your ticket, I don't mind not running.

If you must go though you'll be fine running outside. You never know you may come to prefer it to the treadmill.

Have a ball whatever.

I will give it a go but scared to fail at the mo. Also winter on its way and thought no excuses with running at the gym and dark nights

Holiday running is great, especially abroad! Try and run early in the morning though and hydrate well or the heat will get you!

Isn’t packing the trainers a great feeling? You realise you’re a “proper runner” now! 😉!! Enjoy! ❤️

Cyprus running good...but will have to be an early one!!! I ran before 7 last October 😊

I am currently in Crete - packed my running gear but ashamed to say I’ve not used it ... so far my good intentions to get up early to beat the heat have not yet materialised! Another week to go so hopefully I will actually make some sort of effort - feeling a tad guilty for not running ....

PaulaGullettGraduate in reply to JacquiAM

Aah don’t feel guilty! I think I’d struggle to get up early and go running. The hotel has a gym so I’ve taken the lazy option🙂

Enjoy, I love Cyprus! If you are running outside, at least they drive on the correct side of the road. However, they do ignore traffic lights and crossings, so be wary! Source: my family is from there...
