I was just curious to know how many miles/kilometers to you guys travel just to play badminton, on a weekly basis??? I travel about 30 miles extra to 2 different gyms to play badminton…(3 days a week)
umm.. for training.. i go to the gym near me.. its around a 5 min walk.. hehe.. its really convenient! For Friday night comps.. its around a 15 min drive.. the occasional training/social at monash also comes once in a while.. that's around a 10 min drive..
two locations.... one location, it would take 10 minutes using the bus. And the other would take 1 hour by bus.
Sunday afternoons: ~40 miles. Tuesday nights: ~10 miles, if I go from work; ~45 miles from home. Friday nights: about the same. Different gym, but just as far. All are one-way distances.
Wednesday = 90 km or 56 miles Thursday = 80 km or 50 miles Sunday = walk 10 minutes. But I have been known to fly 1000 to 2000 miles to attend badminton training.
I usually book a court at one of our local badminton clubs other wise i just go to public gym (damn crazy ball s goin every where)
i don;t travel any extra. i play at my office's gym after office hours since i'm there anyway. so i just take the elevator and escalator downstairs.
hum lets see ill try my best but i wont use distance ill use time. at school; by ride: 20-30 minutes by bus/train: 30-50 minutes at leisure center; by ride:10-20 minutes by bus/train: 30-50 minutes at talisman center; by ride: 30-50 minutes by bus/train: 30-50 minutes at community center; by ride:10-20 minutes by bus/train: i wouldent go if i had to take transit
Sat - 10 min walk Tues - 10 min drive Wed - 10 min walk or stay at school Thurs - 1 hr drive (around 60 km) Fri - Depends on where I feel like going Sun- Depends on where I feel like going
Thanks Phu. It takes more time to walk to the parking lots, then drive from my office to Bintang - 5 minutes.
Depends, I mostly commute to the court so I really don't know how many miles or km I travel for that matter I travel. To give you a hint (guesstimate) of how many miles here is my travel time: Tuesdays: 15 min lazy walk (this is around 2kms from my work place) Weekends 1: 30min-90min commute (depends on traffic) Weekends 2: 45min-100min commute (depends on traffic) The local volleyball court at our clubhouse has also been converted to a badminton court. Its just a 3 minute walk from my house. I don't usually play there since the court surface is coarse cement. There is another baddy court near my house, 20minutes walk. I also don't usually play there because of the court surface, you've guessed it, coarse cement too. It's hard to find a court near my house that has a decent court surface
One way, I travel about 40 miles, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I could play on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as well, traveling the same 40 miles or more ( courts in different part of town), but those courts are surfaced with vinyl tile (1 mm thick) over a concrete slab. I don't like the effect on my feet and knees.
