Sometimes I have to travel for work. I'm in San Jose, CA right now. I don't mind traveling. I actually really like traveling, but the problem is that I lose training time and training quality when I leave home. It's the downside of trying to maintain top form all the time. Here are the things I do when I have to travel for work and I want to maintain my training plan.
1- I book a hotel that I've reviewed online that has photos of the workout facilities. I always try to find a hotel that has stationary bikes if possible, elipticals second. If there are no hotels with a good workout room, then I'll locate a 24hr fitness or whatever and see if they have daily passes. I hate running and I don't think it provides much of any benefit to cycling.
2- I arrange the dinner meal with coworkers at either 6pm or 8pm. If 8pm, then that gives me enough time to change, workout for an hour or so, shower and be ready by 8pm. If 6pm, then I've got time afterwards for a workout.
3- I try to arrange travel early in the morning on the 1st day so that I can have a hard workout the day before, then an easy spin at the hotel gym on the first evening travel day.
4- I bring powerbars and/or sports drink mix with me while traveling. If I forget, then I try to stop at a grocery store on the first day of traveling.
That's about it.
