Training in Y Rhath

Independents and a lake to run round.

Dave's Gym and BeGood Fitness are the independent gyms here, Crossfit Cardiff is the CrossFit box, and the Penylan Library and Community Centre has a gym run by Better. Choson Taekwondo teaches martial arts, PhysioSpace Penylan helps with rehab, and Albany Road Run Club gets people out running together.

Roath Park Lake covers 30 acres, with a path of 1.3 miles around it, and rowing boats are for hire on the water. At the park's southern end, the Recreation Ground has pitches for football, baseball and rugby. A lap of the lake is an easy first run to share with a training partner.
