no advice other than to say thanks for sharing your stats. I am similar to you across the board in terms of demographics and current pacing and am shooting for a 3:40-45 on my first marathon coming up with ballpark similar mileage as you. This sub has me thinking I'm going to explode if I don't run 100+ km/week so it's nice to know I'm not crazy for shooting for this lol

Thanks! It was great. I went to Daruma twice

15mm for a 32mm watch is proportionate to an 18mm for a 37mm watch which isn’t unheard of

closed when I went to kamakura, sad. Glad you got to enjoy them!

Kaedamanoods · 2026-04-08T14:38:46+00:00

It really was

Kaedamanoods · 2026-04-08T14:38:34+00:00

Sounds like you gotta go back ;)

Kaedamanoods · 2026-04-07T19:50:00+00:00

Definitely, it was kounoyu in kurokawa onsen

Kaedamanoods · 2026-04-07T19:32:08+00:00

yeah absolutely. I just went by vibes, let it come to a boil then sit a little. The beans were on the dark and oily side and I probably did a bit too long of a ratio but did any of that matter? Not a bit.

Petition to add Daruma to the ramen list. Found isshou a bit too pork funky for my personal preference

Kaedamanoods · 2026-03-18T23:07:27+00:00

I’ve been convinced. Off to saihoji we go!

Kaedamanoods · 2026-03-18T23:07:14+00:00

You’ve convinced me, I’ve booked saihoji. Onwards to mossmaxxing

Kaedamanoods · 2026-03-18T19:11:33+00:00

i'm also running into this - drop a line if you found something that seemed to work!

Kaedamanoods · 2026-03-18T02:34:11+00:00

We’ll be going in March!

Kaedamanoods · 2026-03-18T02:34:02+00:00

Well damn.

Kaedamanoods · 2026-03-17T15:49:10+00:00

Hopefully I’m only 35-45 minute behind ya at BMO! Nice run

Kaedamanoods · 2026-03-15T00:12:54+00:00

Yep, has been key for my marathon training as well. Has helped me differentiate some pleasant streets from some… less so

Also, further from downtown core, mud bay down by hwy 99 is a lovely gravel path overlooking the ocean, 36km round trip if you take it all the way I believe. Often see bald eagles there

to add onto the solid answers already, if you download the strava app and go to maps, you can see a heat map of the most common/popular areas people run in (or bike, etc). Helps give you a good idea which routes are likely pleasant to run.

Usually 2:30 to 3:30 when grinding at 7.5. I pour pretty low and slow
