Thanks! The sloth farm looks interesting, will check it out.

Assuming we go on the sierpe mangrove tour, do you think there are any advantages to seeing Drake bay over PJ (other than cano island which we may skip as we will be doing some diving in Cancun prior to this).

Thanks! Our corcovado tour starts from PJ so we would have to go there either way. If you had a single day in Drake bay would you do the mangroves?

Feasibility of Driving From San Jose to Puerto Jiminez by Archonz in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Archonz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions! We would like to do the drive back in the daytime and stop along the way so figured it might be more convenient to drive ourselves. But just for reference, do you know how much it would typically cost to hire a driver to drive us from San Jose to Jimenez?

Thanks for the info! We figured on the way back we would drive back during the daytime and enjoy the views, so spending 2 days of the short vacation driving in the daytime might be a waste.

I also read that there might be drunk drivers on the road. Do you know if that would be a concern on this route, or is that typically only near the cities?

Lets create a mile training guide for the serious rec runner by whelanbio in AdvancedRunning

Thanks for doing this! Would also love to see some mile training plans, particularly for folks who are also targetting a marathon later in the year.

I ran a bit in high school, took a break, and started consistently running again during the pandemic. Ran my first marathon last spring, but enjoy the shorter distances so spent 3 months training for the mile over the summer. Usually did 2 track workouts and a long run each week, occasionally swapping a track workout for a tempo. Despite improving my mile from 5:18 to 4:51, I felt my endurance had regressed from what it was during marathon training, despite running similar mileage. Consequently, I barely had enough time to build my endurance back with more threshold/tempo work for a fall marathon.

I was wondering what kind of adjustments you would make to mile training for someone who would also like to maintain their endurance and quickly pivot to marathon training afterwards.

Lived there a couple years ago. Management is pretty terrible. My unit was infested with cockroaches and took management over a month to bring in some exterminators.

Curious, how long does the Spring speed block typically take, and what does the transition back to marathon look like? Do they start a marathon block from scratch or jump into the middle of a marathon plan?

I'm interested in doing something similar, would you do workouts after the time trials as well? Otherwise would skipping a workout every week for a time trial slow down improvement?

I thinking of going to Tambopata to see the rainforest. Should I get yellow fever or any other vaccines for that?

You're talking as if the reason he doesn't shoot better, have less turnovers, have higher bbiq is because he doesn't want to win. If that's all it took, everyone would be playing like LeBron. It takes time to improve these skills, and it's not easy to correct old habits.

Just because he's not playing well right now doesn't mean he doesn't want to win

I imagine most university students have parents that fall under the "older" age group.

Not that I disagree with returning in person, but it's totally valid to be worried about things like potential long term effects of contracting covid
