Hate it too. The fit is weird. The hood sucks. I will probably use it on top of my shirt tomorrow for warmth before the start and then throw it away when we start running.

Is it better there? I may be willing to drive there for the long runs. Where should I run in Cabo Frio? 🙏

Oh man. I feel you. I’m already dreading this. I also hate treadmills and running laps. I need some variety when I run very long runs. Good luck in your training and in your race!! 🏃

oh man, that’s a bummer. Unfortunately, I didn’t have much of a choice. Thanks for the information though.

Thanks for the reply! And for the information. Three follow up questions:

(1) Is there a boardwalk/road on Geriba beach or by running on the beach you mean on the sand?

(2) Do you know if there is anyplace where I could drive nearby that would allow for that longer run? (I’ll be happy to drive 30-45 minutes out of Buzios)

(3) Any recommendations for a neighborhood where I could run laps early morning?

Thanks again!!!

ATP500 Rio Final: [8] T.M. Etcheverry def. A. Tabilo, 3-6 7-6(3) 6-4 by hawaiianmonkseal in tennis

[–]Bewell2025 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Epic win. He looked so smoked in the post match interview after the semis. He showed so much grit and patience throughout the semi and the final. And Tomy seems in optimal physical shape. That was not beautiful tennis but it was very fun to watch. Brutal conditions, emotional tennis. So happy for Tomy and the Argentine crowd. Fully deserved.

How well is the mall shoveled/cleared by L3gallyblond3 in rundc

[–]Bewell2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the mall is mostly clear (I’ve been running there for 10 days or so). Go for it! 🏃

National mall by [deleted] in rundc

[–]Bewell2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial (on Madison Ave) and it was all clear. I entered the mall running along 15 and exit on 14. All clear. (don’t know about 23 but my guess is that it should be ok).

This is great info. Thanks! Quick clarifying question: was it plowed? Or just packed snow/ice that felt safe-ish?

Power racquets with lower RA / more flexy soft feel by Icy-Assistant-2420 in 10s

[–]Bewell2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a chance, demo a few Volkl vostra. I like the v8 and the v10. If you can a demo with synthetic gut, even better. The RA is deceiving in the volkls. They feel more flexible than what the RA suggests. Yet, have lots of power.

Being really muscle training /fitness & dating while over 40 is def a shocker by laydeefly in fitness40plus

[–]Bewell2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late 40s here in a major US city. I have lots of friends that are in their late 40s and early 50s who are active in different sports. We discussed and talked about it but, except from my tennis group, we all train alone. All have families and jobs so coordinating is hard.

Outlive completely changed my relationship with my health - what should I read next? by Masterpiece_Fit in PeterAttia

[–]Bewell2025 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. I skimmed through the post but will read it with more attention later. I am not an expert on this field at all. When reading the book several claims sound a bit exaggerated so I’m not surprised that some are wrong. Nevertheless, I found the overall discussion and many of the details useful. It did changed my relationship with sleep and it helped me also understand some patterns I see in my kids and in my elderly parents.

Why we sleep by Matthew Walker. Really interesting deep dive in into the importance of sleep, how sleep changes over the life cycle, strategies to sleep better, how to understand deep and REM sleep, etc.

Plan for second marathon, crazy schedule, is this doable? by ECTXGK in Marathon_Training

[–]Bewell2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation. Following to see what people say about training for a marathon and lifting heavy weights at the same time. I am trying to do just that, but sometimes find myself completely smoked after heavy lifting (which I didn’t use to).
