In this oh so flat landscape, does anyone know of ANY hills of some sort where I can run to step up my stamina?
Maybe I should change it to "slope-like area" for running? I was thinking about the likes of Puente Nichupte(the bridge at the Xcaret tower) etc. Any more similar suggestions are welcomed
I was going to say that you can run up and down the hill between Playa Delfines and its parking lot. It's steep there, but short and sandy. I really miss running in the mountains...sigh.
Mat: Hey man. Thanks, but my stupid right foot absolutely hates running on sand since a few years back Plus last time I tried it(twice actually..) here in Cancun, Ive managed to step on glass... Let me know if you come to think of alternatives RG: The sand is a bit of a problem for me, so no can do. But Im thinking the climb from "El Rey" up to Playa Delfines(on the concrete) could be decent Tell me about it, miss mountain and terrain running like hell
rawkus - I used to run a lot of talus slopes...sometimes if I run on broken twisted sidewalks in Cancun I can almost remember what talus running was like.
San Crisobal de las Casas is very hilly, actually mountainous, but you probably want less than a 12 (or whatever) hour drive. Sorry, I could not help myself. You could try putting 5-10 kgs of bags of sugar or our flour in a backpack and run that way. The results should be the same as far as building your stamina.
