vegan runners training camp (Portugal) September 14-20 2009

[runner]

Ok post all your thoughts / questions/ suggestions here about the vegan runners training camp 2009.

As discussed in James topic on his training camp in Portugal, we thought it might be nice to have a veganrunners training camp this fall (sept or october). We can rent an appartment, cook our own stuff (pasta), and run in the area, as well as have some track sessions.

idea is to have 2 traings a day.

james could you give a cost indication?

Where I stayed (Oasis Village) would be ~£50 per person (~55euros) for 6 nights for a 4 person apartment.

Assuming I can get holiday from work I'll be up for it.

It's about 30km from Faro airport.

The place is great for other stuff like cycling / mountain biking and rock climbing, so it would be good for non-runners if any wanted to go.

I'd definitely be interested but can't commit to it 100% at the moment

I was actually just thinking about this

Sounds like it could be fun.

At the moment though I think cost would probably prohibit me from coming\going. I wont rule it out though and see how things pan out later in the year.

You can live very cheaply over there if you need to. Biggest cost would be the flight.

yeah im the same, i really like the sound of this, would love to get some training and tips from you guys, but cant commit 100percent, keep me posted though, if it looks like there is enough interest i could make it happen for me.!!

[bob_summers]

i'm interested, but as ever it's going to depend on when it is. holidays are a problem for me, as i can't take them when i want...

[runner]

who would be up for mid september?

let's say the week of 14th?

[james79]

Should be ok with me but difficult to say for certain.

I think we should wait until late summer before booking.

[bob_summers]

emma and i would be able to come down in mid september. not big on running, but meeting people would be nice.

[erske]

I might be interested to, but don't know how much time I can get off..

[runner]

how do we fix this..

shall we fix a date by june?

before this date we can all post our whises..? see if we can find a match. 5-7 days?

Good for me: Sep 12-24, Oct 14-23, Nov 14-26

Bad for me: Sep-1-10, 28-30 Oct 1-13, 28-31, Nov 1-11, 27-30

I'm definitely interested - am still trying to sort out a few events including (hopefully) my first marathon around then, so not sure on best dates for me just yet. Any time in October sounds good, though.
