Subject: RE: Where to Swim Bike Run in downtown Dallas, Texas? Originally posted by NatNegativeSplit
Hello
I have to be in Dallas for week for work (M-F) . I will be staying near the conference center downtown. I am looking for places to swim (lap pool) near that area. Also spin classes since I won't have my bike. And also safe areas to run.
I am training for NC 70.3 and while I can just run if I have to I'd like swim once if I can and spin one day.
Thank you for any insight and tips!
I live in Dallas and it's a great place to train! For swimming, there's an LA Fitness on a street called Haskell Ave which I'm sure will give you a free 1 week trial if you call ahead. It's very close to downtown and they also do Spin classes or you can go to Soul Cycle (10 mins from downtown ) if you feel like spending $30 on a class . As for running, the Katy Trail is tough to beat. It's impossible to get lost as it's a 3.5 mile straight out and back (7 mile run end to end ), there's a distance marker every 1/4 mile and there are multiple entry/exit points. If you have more time and feel like venturing 15 - 20 mins, White Rock Lake is also a great place to run. It's a 9 mile loop around the lake. Hope this helps and welcome to TX! |
