I'm In This City With NO TRACK, NO PARK, NO TREADMILL, Where Can I Run?

there has to be some room on the side walks

You mind naming the city? You'd be surprised how many people on here might have been in the same place. Maybe some out of the way place to run, or a bus ride a little ways out of town to some trails? Who knows.

Kagawa in Japan.

Epic Thread.

soccer fields?

health club?

Go buy a treadmill at the local Dick's Sporting Goods.

Nope not at all.

I've asked so many people.

No YMCA's or anything like that...no local schools with a track...nothing.

I'm really really scared that my cross country season is ruined to honest with you.

googlemaps might show something. looks like there area couple lake type things and some forest/trees to the west, perhaps running round them is possible?

Can you join a gym for a month?

Crossfit instead.

Hard shoulder? As long as it isn't banked.

buddy relax its mid july, while 3 low weeks is not exactly ideal right now, the meets that count (whether state or conference/regionals/nationals) arent until late october november...meaning you dont really have to be ready to run fast for another 4 months

you may start the season a little slow but in no way is your cross country season "f***ed"

hopefully you got a few weeks of decent mileage in before this trip, so for the next few weeks you do what you can...make sure you do some running every day, even if its 3-4 miles and then load up on the extra stuff...core, stretching, body weight exercises, drills, etc...

when you get back bump the mileage back up, use the first couple races of the season as workouts and youll be fine once the big meets roll around

also, look into whether there's a college campus around, usually good for a few miles

Good advice, but I have to make the team first...

Jump rope

There is definitely a track

I dunno if you can get on it though

When I said no track I meant as in a public track...I was excited too when someone told me there was a track...I go there come to find out it's not open to the public.

what level are you at? hs? college? what are the chances of you not actually making the team? in hs if you even have the ability to run 70 miles a week id be shocked if you were actually cut...we had kids running over 12:30 for 2 miles back in the day and our coach would still let em come out

12:30 for 2 miles puts you in our top 7 basically...
