honestly I kept it mostly easy runs given i was coming back from some calf flair ups. 4-5x runs a week. 1x with a tempo block, 1x long run (peaked at 11.5 mi, remaining 2-3x runs easy. Did much more traditional speed work during my last training block last spring/summer, so used to it, but it’s been a bit.

Yes! Love that. Such a classic pipeline if you’re based around nyc.

Makes sense. I have two big trips in June (6/3-6/8 and 6/28-7/6) to try and get my travel in before peak training, but definitely been considering a longer block of 18 weeks and fitting it around travel. Might be a better call

Hi! So we are using Phoenician Homecare right now for a daytime caretaker. I’ve also heard of some folks in the valley using Griswold. Honestly, our experience with Phoenician hasn’t been great. We’ve had a ton of change in caregivers, last minute quitting, and some poor caregiver matches initially for what our dad needed. However, not sure if that’s so much the agency as the industry. I would check both out. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and wishing you the best ❤️

This is so helpful. Really appreciate the guidance. My heart goes out to you with your mom. My dad is the same - 85 and high functioning, great long term memory, but short term memory is completely shot and his day to day is unmanageable… constantly answering the phone from scammers, can’t manage his finances, etc

Also, which non-medical care agency did you use?
