Running and Training in Spain
Talk about running, go for a run with a friend in the park and sort out a gym membership in Spain.
Running is hugely popular in Spanish cities: people run in parks like the Retiro, sign up for carreras populares and go out early in summer to beat the heat. Gyms charge a monthly cuota and run classes like spinning. These cards follow a newcomer who plans a run with a colleague, struggles through it and then looks into joining her gym.
