Obstacles to running

[Ady In Accy]

Don't want to sound unappreciative, but we do quite a bit of sailing, and I frequently find myself at sea on a 32ft yacht for a few weeks at a time. Consequently I come back very un'running'fit and with a few extra pounds!! What I find really weird (ie: pain in the arse) is that it takes me far longer than 3 weeks to get anything like back to normal.

You either get badly lost or do some serious sea mileage

Being young(yeah right), free and single I can do what I like except when I'm away for work. Running in Karachi and Dhaka is not best advised and I hate treadmills and gymns

I hear you on this one......having worked away in Oman a few times. There is a fabulous beach in Muscat on which I tried to get some running done, but felt v. conspicuous as a female runner even though had long sleeved top, full length baggy trousers, visor etc.. etc.. despite the 30+degrees.

Yep, some serious mileage!!! Might have been lost though, Although I do rather consider myself to be a good sea navigator.....hmmmm.. just need to translate this to the fells!!

You will have a third dimension to consider when fell running

I think it's a real art to bring a map 'to life' in your head...to see the 2D as a virtual glorious technicolour 3D in your head... if you know what I mean. And if that wasn't enough to keep going at the same time.

True, I missed the OMM on Saturday 25th October.

A sailor may have been more used to those conditions

Going on holiday with your family to Cuba is an obstacle to running?

[OneHillWonder]

I know, I'd much rather be running up a hill in the wind and rain, than sunning myself in Cuba... Oh no wait, no I wouldn't I'll go instead!

I agree with Ady, hangovers get in the way of nice long runs at the weekend and chores, housework, DIY, studying, work, socializing etc etc. SOmetimes I get annoyed that I dont have the time to run as much as I'd like but then I realise it's because I've got a lot of other good things to cram in too

housework and DIY help with core strength and they are a benifit in your well being.
