As I am a passionate long distance runner, I was wondering if there are any good areas for a long training run? I am not a gym person and love outdoor sports, so the good old treadmill would only be a last resort.
I am not a runner but I would recommend the beach, along the shore line. A lot of people are training there and you would avoid getting hit by a car, step into something nasty or sharp on the side of the road and the air is healthier.
I don't know, where I lived (in Cape/Elmina), people use the beach as a public rest room. I'd be scared! Maybe Accra's OK. The other good places to run are university campuses during daylight hours as they're spacious and usually green.
I am not a runner but a walker..i like walking a lot and chose the beach..but to my horror (like GP said - see comment below) some of the beaches are used as rest room. I have actually witnessed it personally so choose your beach well..otherwise an enjoyable run may turn to be a disgusting one. Happy running!! ciao, Nance
running is a good sport ,maybe the best sport.I hope everyone can like it,not only can enhance out body,the most important it has many mixed feeling:Happiness, pain, uncertainty,persistence, victory and so..............
Hi Grenouillevert, I jog in my neighborhood. If you up living in a planned residential area, your neighborhood might be a great place to run. That's what I do.
Wishing you'll up living close to where I live so I can go jogging/running with you...
