Best city for endurance athletes to live in post-COVID?

Miami. Cross train with some latinas.

Based on elite distance running results, I'd have to say Addis Ababa.

Impressively bad list of cities so far. Like the actual worst cities in the US for the most part.

I agree, this list is inadequate.

Boulder is still good but it's played out, connects with Denver so pretty good on the whole.

San Francisco actually has a really great running scene and the clubs are very competitive and Portland is cool but like SF avoid certain areas while other parts are pristine and incomparably pretty.

There is Boston, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Albuquerque, NYC among others, and always choose the nicer areas and you'll be fine.

Victoria, BC, Canada

There is no "post covid", just post Harambe/2600bro playing tummysticks and spackling misinformation all over the boards

I’ll probably get a lot of hate but-

San Diego is the greatest city in the USA to live in if you have the money. Hands down.

Stay classy!

- Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins: lots of outdoor activities, plenty of people for dating. Fort Collins in particular is underrated

- Seattle: same as above, though winters will suck

- Asheville: solid running, hiking, and a fun town

- San Francisco: good weather year-round, plenty of social activities, main downside is $$$

- Salt Lake City: solid running, tons of skiing options, and access to National Parks. Need to be comfortable with the more religious vibe there with heavy Mormon presence

Santa Barbara

San Luis Obispo

Santa Cruz

Truckee

Bend

Sedona

Durango

San Clemente

Santa Fe

Kona

Good luck finding dates in some of those places

That reflects your lack of game, not the dating opportunities.

Iten is a much better choice. Get yourself a nice Kenyan wife or two to do the household chores.

Once you eliminate the south east and the Midwest for obvious reasons. That'll leave you with the north east, west, Hawaii and Alaska. Now unless you want to be a pioneer in the 1800s, that'll will eliminate Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Alaska. So now we're left with Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Colorado New Mexico, Arizona, Hawaii and New England. Can't really go wrong with any of these States. People bashing these states are just haters or have something mentally wrong with them where they rather not pay a proper amount of taxes in exchange for corn fields and poor schools.

No. Both of these cities are terrible and overcrowded. You will die of pollen allergies or skunk attack. Most of the people are very fat and will not welcome you.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Eugene. Great running community, lots of trails and I hear they have lots of stadium seating available to watch high quality professional track meets.

I've seen some sketchy homeless people arguments there before! I lived on Canyon near the park (19th)

Y tho?

What's wrong with dating in SF Bay Area? That's a genuine question, not trying to mock you or anything. I'm past that point in my life but I imagine dating would be hard in LA when you're spending 2 hours in a jam trying to meet someone vs leisurely taking public transit and/or Lyft to your destination in SF.

It has nice running weather year round and unlike say Flagstaff there's a steady supply of decently paying jobs. It is expensive but the marging is not that terrible as it used to be before covid. Depends on your profession of course, unfortunately not every occupation can get you a living wage in SF.
