Hi,

I am new to Tripoli. Can you please tell me the exact address of the gym in Dahra. It will be really helpful if you could provide some contact numbers of the same.

Thanks.

you run on the beach? or in town?

I run around the Saraj/Janzour areas, on the roads and dirt tracks that are all over the place - GoogleEarth is my guide!
Every 2 wks I run with the local Hash which always throws up a few new routes to try out.
If you really like your running, I'll be organising the 2nd Unofficial Tripoli Half Marathon in Oct. We had about 50 runners last year.

Muddy - post up more about that event, on the other site too (DD's). My bro is a big time triathalon/marathon competitor and could spread the word in the UK

Have you ever seen women doing outdoor exercises? I would like to go running, but I am not so sure how this would be accepted.

Please don't do it! Sorry, but unless you're in a jail like Regatta I wouldn't advise it. Whilst I know of 1 woman who does run solo, I also know of 1 who was attacked close to her home, while her husband 'nipped back' to get something.

There are plenty of women who want to run (Mrs Mudman included) and some go to the Hash runs. There is strength & safety in numbers though, one reason for the website I mentioned in an earlier post is to try and make a place where people can arrange to meet up.

Quite a few ladies ran in the half marathon last year, including one more Snr lady who walked the whole course. As on the hash runs, we made a point of watching out for the safety of all female participants.

There is a ladies' circuits class at Regatta if you're interested ?

Will do thx.
We had a guy from the UK who wanted to come over for our 'little' race last yr, but as you can imagine the visa issues proved too much

Tell your brother there's a tri (sprint & oly distances) in Malta, Oct 3rd. I'm trying to get a few peeps from Tripoli to go.

Shall I put your name down ?

Finally, I never thought I would consider running outdoors in or near Tripoli. Aren't you concerned about air quality (CO, CO2, dust and all kinds of cr@p suspended in the air)?? (not that indoor air is much better either, but, eh

Try sitting next to the flatulent sack splitter in the office here.....

My site has the details on it or Google: Malta Triathlon Association

No.

Hi
In hotel Wadan (Dahra), they have a fitness facility (including gym+pool+suana/steam/showers). Bit pricy but worth money, it is 1100LD and 1900LD for 6 months and 1 yr for one person respectively. family packages are also available. Both males/females can work out together.
Equipment is modren and very well maintained.

Went there yesterday to checked it out.

Not worth it. totally not worth it. All they have is few Technogym treadmills and elliptical. I went there fancying some free weights or at least a pullup bar. Not even that was there! You're better off buying your own treadmill AND elliptical. The walk-in closet of my first apartment was larger than their steam room and sauna combined.

Only thing they may have going for them is the spa--very reasonable rates.

i have visited many shops here. but all of them are having cheap and unreliable treadmills only.

search "freemotion"聽 聽 or google "woodway Desmo H" or "woodway Curve"

they won't be able to provide any support except via emails.

And sometimes they would shun your emails. Ebay = mostly buy and forget, that's what you get for paing less. There are, however, few sellers who promise and provide excellent post-purchase service.

Can I rely on ebay for the treadmill ???

All you need to keep it running, if you get a decently made one, is lubricating it every few weeks. This would easily get you 2-4 years of usage. And by the time your assignment is over, you will have gotten your money back.
