koss78b2 Posted September 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Just a question regarding the running tracks on the Carnival Ships more less for the Glory and Victory. considering i like to keep in shape and run. is the running track clear and open for running, most of the day? anytime? or do they put chairs in the way of it later in day time etc? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomcruiser891 Posted September 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It's almost never blocked by chairs or anything but often times people will either stand or walk on it which defeats its purpose.....but it's big enough to go around them so no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedomcruiser891 Posted September 25, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Not 100% sure but I want to say 6 or 7 laps was a mile? I hate to say that because I'm really not 100% sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabaras Posted September 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I discovered that sail away is not the best time to try and run on the track. I did have one very drunk woman chasing after me asking me where the bathroom was. Fortunately she only lasted half a lap. The Dream class is 7 laps to a mile, not sure about Victory or Glory, but I was thinking that the track was smaller on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR0318 Posted September 25, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I believe the Victory is 11 laps for a mile. To me the best time to use the track is in the morning, after that you get too many people on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love my grandkids Posted September 25, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Track is for running or walking. Lately go up early and go on deck 10 for walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted September 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Track is for running or walking. Lately go up early and go on deck 10 for walking. I agree, use it for both. Is there an etiquette for co-existence? Walkers on the inside, runners on the outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was walkers to the right so that would be outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow pokes like me stay out of the fast left lanes? And that's going counter clockwise (turning back the hands of time) Edited September 25, 2015 by evandbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star1 Posted September 25, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Running on that track is not always as easy as it looks. We use the track often on all ships. My husband can run his whole work out without any troubles. The movement of the ship does not bother him at all. As far as me running....I can not get my brain to adjust to the ship moving and me moving too. I don't know why but.......I end up walking more than running on the ships. I have to use the ships for my short runs and run my longer run on shore one day. Good luck and May The Ship Move With You!

sb4ever Posted September 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I once ran 14 miles on the track on Freedom :eek:; I wouldn't recommend it, but marathon training doesn't stop for vacation. 10 laps to the mile. I found it is easier to go up very early (before sunrise). It's not hard for me as I'm an early morning runner anyway. Walkers tend to come out around 6 or 7. Some ships are better than others. Sometimes you get 3-wide who refuse to move, but most stay to the right. There was something "odd" about the track on Conquest; I think it had a slight slant/banking. It hurt to run on it. We had some extra time after shopping in St. Thomas and took the opportunity to run along the shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatchesPal Posted September 26, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 26, 2015 The earlier the better in my experience. Unfortunately walkers often block the path and most ships have some sharp turns and winding areas. So be careful. Last cruise another runner ran clockwise against everyone for an entire workout. Every ship posts the laps for a mile and km somewhere along the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb4ever Posted September 26, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Also, depending how fast the ship is going, the headwinds can be brutal (but then again, the tailwind is nice :):):)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think after awhile the guy running against everyone else would have scratched his head and thought oops going the wrong way:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promenade deck on 5 is empty early in the morning and a nice place to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
