Right as this episode goes live, I'll be landing in Rome, Italy, where my wife Erin and I are taking part in a vegan tour. It's guaranteed to be a blast.
 
But this week also marks Week 2 of my official marathon training plan. So it begs the question:
 
Should I be running while on vacation?
 
If you’re a regular listener to the podcast, it should come as no surprise that NMA Radio co-host Doug and I approach this answer differently. He loves running, and would do it all the time. Including on vacation.
 
I, on the other hand, don't. And I prefer my vacations free of stresses like a running routine.
 
In today's episode, Doug and I argue our different point of views, and discuss the pros and cons of keeping up a running routine. Doug also shares his tips for planning a running vacation … the vacation he looks forward to most each summer.
