Do you prefer to train indoors or outdoors?

I like running outside. Cycling outside in the UK I find extremely unenjoyable as it's just too difficult with the traffic and volume of cars. I rarely feel relaxed and safe.

Cycling in Germany, at least in my area is a pain in the butt. Roads are very damaged and car drivers have no patience. So I do more inside cycling

Long rides outside, intervals, inside on the trainer. Run is outside, treadmill only if have to. Swim inside because a pool is easy but OWS is needed for sighting training, being used to the wetsuit, colder water and in just open water itself. So, both depending on what I'm doing

Outdoors any day of the week and twice on Sundays!

Being a stay at home mom, I almost never get the opportunity to just go outside to do something by myself. Indoors allows for exercise during babes naptimes.

I’d join an outdoor gym, I’d train in the middle of winter too if I could

I like fresh air, but there's no wind indoors. Many days, zone 2 cycling is impossible outdoors.

The one pro of the treadmill is standardization. Otherwise, I hate it compared to running outside.

I dispise indoor training. Sadly I am too soft to do my swim session outdoors during the winter. :'( 🥶

I live where the snow starts in late September and ends in Early May. Indoor training is a necessity and the roads aren't great.

Outside…..but inside is safer,less stress and more consistent
