I'm going to be in Durban, SA for 3 weeks on business and I'm wondering if anyone had any advice as to places to run/train while I'm there. I'll mostly just be doing easy runs and tempo runs, maybe a couple fartleks. I have been told not to run at night...Is this a valid tip? any other tips?
On another note, I have an 11 hour layover in Frankfurt and welcome any tips on running in Frankfurt as well. This is my first trip overseas, so I'm naive to the multi-day travel schedule.
thanks.
Durban city centre is crap to run in but has a promenade along the sea where you can run. All concrete though. You can run out towards Kings Park stadium which is not bad.
Where are you going to be located in Durban? Outside Durban there are some nice places to run but will need a car to get there.
Collen De Reuck (South African now American runner) is from Durban. I cant remember the club to get in contact with though but try:
Or
My brother-in-law lives in Durban and his wife is an avid runner. She does mostly marathons. If you'd like, I can get you their email and you ask ask them ?? email me if interested.
I have been there a few times and remember the place to run was right along the boardwalk along the ocean. I wasnt doing much running when I went back there so I cant be too specific.
