An honest question: Why in the world do people run on treadmills, or ride stationary bikes in Disney? You should be getting TONS of cardio just by walking the parks. You're inside a wonderful area - jog around your resort, jog around EPCOT or the boardwalk in the early morning hours. Jog the trails. Instead you're staring at a wall or a TV?
Lol as a runner true...love running at disney
Running at Disney is an absolute favorite of mine. We’re at Saratoga Springs right now and had an amazing time running there this week. The dreadmill would be a last resort and I’d probably rather skip a run then be on it, especially at Disney.
I'll be heading to Saratoga for the first time in the summer where would you recommend running? Any place in particular? How far do you usually run?
I did a 5 mile and 8 mile run there this week. We often stay in the grandstand section so I head out to the treehouse loop, do a couple laps there then take the bridge by the bus stop over to the nature path that goes to Old Key West. I run to Hospitality House and the take a left onto Millers Rd, take it to the end and then head back to Saratoga. Where I go then there depends on how many miles I’m looking for that day. Sometimes around the perimeter of SSR, or the lake, or out by Disney Springs. You’ll find lots of options and if you go early you’ll be able to catch some shade from that summer sun!
Wow that's very impressive. I'm a little bit older now than when I used to be so my runs are usually about 4 miles. And I try to run on the soft surface such as grass. I assume I just be able to run next to the hard path on the grass.
We typically visit WDW during the summer and I love running in the EARLY morning. As in, I see the sunrise on my run. After the sun is up? I'll take the treadmill in the air-conditioned gym, thanks! Even still, I was working out with DD on our last trip and she was definitely not up for a morning run. I found the gym to not be nearly cold enough, especially with the FL humidity.
