Can You Prepare for a Marathon During Your Travels?

Staying active during your travels can be pretty difficult, but preparing for a major sports event often seems like a mission impossible. Marathon is one of those events, and here’s how you can get ready for one even if you’re constantly on the road.

Perfect Time

Your regular schedule will experience a major shake-up once you embark on a new trip, and it will be difficult to go on a run at your usual time.

Try to schedule your exercises early in the morning or late in the evening, especially during your summer travels when it’s too hot outside.

Treadmill Break

If it seems highly unlikely you’re going to find time for outdoor runs, consider booking a room at a hostel with a gym. You can do some running on a treadmill – the feeling is not the same, but it can serve as a good alternative in the short run.

Good Plan

At the end of the day, it’s all about having a good plan. Taking a break from marathon preparations during your travels can hurt your progress, so make sure to find at least 30 minutes every day to do some running before going back home and returning to your regular schedule.
