Hi,
I am heading to Font Romeu, France in May of this year for 14 days.
I am not sure if anyone who posts here has trained in FR? I'll just leave it at that for now to see if anyone has been, and if so, please could you help me out with some questions I have?
Much appreciated, thanks.
Post your questions
Hi,
Is this the car park I should go to for access to the Plateau? -
- From there is it fairly obvious where to walk/ski lift up to and find the trails?
At the training centre -

- Can members of public use the track? I am not an elite athlete and the site mentions lower level people can use the facilities on presentation of their license... I don't have any sort of license so is there no way I can use the centre track?
Gyms in FR town, are there any? Or is the best gym to use the one at the centre above? I will be using the gym 2-3 times in each of the 2 weeks I am there.
I plan to run at the plateau, Lac De Matemale, track@centre but not sure of other places in within on foot distance from my apartment in centre of FR. I was planning on just exploring and discovering trails to run etc as I read there are good one's between FR and Pyrenees 2000? Is there a map available in FR which shows all of these trails or can you advise on any in particular I should try and find?
Thanks :) Not sure if it is actually you Paula but if so, seen your interview on the BBC yesterday from Kenya and can't wait to see how the training pays off for you over the spring HM's. And then of course in the summer, we're all very excited to see you and Scott do us proud over 26.2 this summer!!
Anyone? :(
hello, for my part I am still al hotel party or of appetite with another athlete, and I have never had a problem jog on the track, day apres14 c is short for a stay when you remove the 5 days acclimatization
Hi, having some trouble understanding all of your post. Do you use the track as member of the public, no certification required?
14 days stay is not long. But we will have a car so I can begin sessions on day 3 by driving down the mountain. It all depends as well, some people may take 2 days to feel fine up high, some take 7. Hopefully I settle as quickly as possible.
I suggest you post this on www.eightlane.com - lots of good Brits on there who have trained in Font Romeu so you should get informed answers.
Nice one, will post on there now. Thanks :)
